Correct answer: D

Indirect greenhouse warming involves gases that influence other greenhouse gases rather than absorbing infrared radiation directly. Carbon monoxide (CO) prolongs methane lifetime by reacting with hydroxyl radicals, while nitrogen oxides (NO and NO₂) contribute to tropospheric ozone formation. In contrast, N₂O is a direct greenhouse gas.
