What gas is increasing in large amouts due to human activities?
A
Carbon Dioxide
B
Oxygen
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Human Activity Is the Cause of Increased Greenhouse Gas Concentrations. Over the last century, burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This increase happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Burning fossil fuels, releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of forest cover, and the rapid expansion of farming, development, and industrial activities are releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and changing the balance of the climate system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.

Detailed explanation-4: -Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere-which then amplifies greenhouse heating.

Detailed explanation-5: -Methane is emitted from a variety of anthropogenic (human-influenced) and natural sources. Anthropogenic emission sources include landfills, oil and natural gas systems, agricultural activities, coal mining, stationary and mobile combustion, wastewater treatment, and certain industrial processes.
