Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Global Warming Potential (GWP) measures the heat-trapping ability of a gas relative to carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a baseline GWP of 1. Methane (CH4) has a GWP of approximately 28-30 over 100 years. Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a GWP of approximately 265-298. CFC-11 has a significantly higher GWP of approximately 4750. Therefore, the correct increasing order is CO2 < CH4 < N2O < CFC-11, which corresponds to C < B < D < A.
