Amount of Carbon Dioxide(CO2) content in atmospheric Air is normally
A
0.21%
B
0.318%
C
0.416%
D
0.428%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1% at sea level, and 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.So percent of carbon dioxide is in the air =0.04%

Detailed explanation-2: -CO2 makes up only about 0.04% of the atmosphere, and water vapor can vary from 0 to 4%. But while water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, it has “windows” that allow some of the infrared energy to escape without being absorbed.
