Correct answer: C. O3
Explanation
Ground-level ozone is one of the notified criteria air pollutants and it is also a short-lived greenhouse gas that traps outgoing infrared radiation. N2O and CO2 are greenhouse gases but not criteria pollutants, while NO2 is a criteria pollutant but is not itself counted as a greenhouse gas. Hence O3.धरातलीय ओज़ोन अधिसूचित मानदंड वायु प्रदूषकों में से एक है और साथ ही यह एक अल्पजीवी ग्रीनहाउस गैस भी है जो बहिर्गामी अवरक्त विकिरण को रोकती है। N2O और CO2 ग्रीनहाउस गैसें तो हैं पर मानदंड प्रदूषक नहीं, जबकि NO2 मानदंड प्रदूषक है किंतु स्वयं ग्रीनहाउस गैस नहीं मानी जाती। अतः उत्तर O3 है।More People, Development and Environment questions
