Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. C < B < D < A
Explanation
Taking CO2 as the reference (GWP = 1), methane is about 25, nitrous oxide about 298 and CFCs run into several thousands. So the order is CO2 < CH4 < N2O < CFC, i.e. C < B < D < A.CO2 को संदर्भ (GWP = 1) मानने पर मीथेन का मान लगभग 25, नाइट्रस ऑक्साइड का लगभग 298 और सी.एफ़.सी. का कई हज़ार तक होता है। अतः क्रम है CO2 < CH4 < N2O < CFC, अर्थात् C < B < D < A।More People, Development and Environment questions
