The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Global warming is caused by the enhanced greenhouse effect: gases such as \(\mathrm{CO_2}\), \(\mathrm{CH_4}\), \(\mathrm{N_2O}\), CFCs and water vapour absorb outgoing infrared radiation.
Of the pairs given, the standard NCERT answer pairs methane with carbon dioxide (the two main contributors).
\(\mathrm{O_3}\) (stratospheric) and CO are not the principal greenhouse gases responsible.
Answer: (2) methane and \(\mathrm{CO_2}\) in atmosphere
