Which of the following gases is responsible for the greenhouse effect?

Question

Observe the following statements
Statement-I: The carbon containing components of photochemical smog are acrolein, methanal and PAN
Statement-II: The number of greenhouse gases in the list given below is 5
$\text{CH}_4, \text{CO}_2, \text{NO}, \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}), \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}), \text{O}_2, \text{O}_3$
The correct answer is

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide (CO$_2$), a primary greenhouse gas, contributes to atmospheric heat retention, thereby causing the greenhouse effect. Methane (CH$_4$), water vapor (H$_2$O), and nitrous oxide (N$_2$O) are also notable greenhouse gases. Therefore, option (2) is the accurate choice.
