Explanation / Answer

question 3) answer) option b) carbon monoxide

reason :  the most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

whereas if we consider Carbon monoxide (CO) . It is only a very weak direct greenhouse gas and also carbon monoxide (CO) does not absorb terrestrial infrared radiation strongly enough to be counted as a direct greenhouse gas
