The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Greenhouse Gases**: Start by listing the common greenhouse gases. The main ones include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), ozone (O3), and water vapor. 2. **Examine the Question**: The question specifically asks for a greenhouse gas produced by agricultural fields, excluding methane. 3. **Review the Options**: The options provided are ammonia, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide. 4. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: - Ammonia is not classified as a greenhouse gas. - Sulfur dioxide is primarily a pollutant and not a greenhouse gas. - Carbon monoxide is also not considered a greenhouse gas. 5. **Identify the Correct Answer**: The only greenhouse gas among the options is nitrous oxide (N2O). 6. **Explain the Production of Nitrous Oxide**: - Nitrous oxide is produced through various agricultural practices, including: - The breakdown of nitrogenous fertilizers in the soil. - Livestock waste. - Conditions in rice fields that are waterlogged and poorly aerated, where denitrifying bacteria convert nitrogen compounds into nitrous oxide. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the greenhouse gas produced by agricultural fields, other than methane, is nitrous oxide. ### Final Answer: **Nitrous oxide (N2O)** ---
