Cattle release what type of greenhouse gas as a result of fermentation in their digestive tract?
A
Oxygen
B
Carbon Dioxide
C
Phosphorus
D
Methane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enteric fermentation is a natural part of the digestive process in ruminant animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and buffalo. Microbes in the digestive tract, or rumen, decompose and ferment food, producing methane as a by-product.

Detailed explanation-2: -Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ruminants Ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats, and buffalo produce meat and milk through enteric fermentation – a digestive process in which microbes decompose and ferment food in the digestive tract or rumen. This process produces methane which is emitted via belching.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tackling methane emissions from cows And there are a lot of cows: More than 94 million in the U.S. and around one billion globally. Cows produce methane in two ways: from the decomposition of their manure under certain conditions, and by what is politely known as enteric emissions-cow burps.
