Question:

The satements that are TRUE :

(A) Methane leads to both global warming and photochemical smog

(B) Methane is generated from paddy fields

(C) Methane is a stronger global warming gas than $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$

(D) Methane is a part of reducing smog Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. $(\mathrm{A}),(\mathrm{B}),(\mathrm{C})$ only

  2. (A) and (B) only

  3. $(\mathrm{B}),(\mathrm{C}),(\mathrm{D})$ only

  4. (A), (B), (D) only


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

Methane leads to both global warming $\backslash$ \& photochemical smog. Methane is generated in large amounts from paddy fields. $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ can be absorbed by photosynthesis, or by formation of acid rain etc., while no such activities are there for methane. Hence methane is stronger global warming gas than $\mathrm{CH}_{4}$. Methane is not a part of reducing smog.
