Oxide of nitrogen
C
Oxygen
D
Nitrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrous Oxide Emissions. In 2021, nitrous oxide (N2O) accounted for 6% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Human activities such as agriculture, fuel combustion, wastewater management, and industrial processes are increasing the amount of N2O in the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO) are emitted from the soil, and whereas N2O is a strong greenhouse gas by itself, NO acts indirectly by contributing to the formation of O3, the third largest contributor to positive radiative forcing [2].
