a. carbon monoxide
b. nitrogen
c. carbon dioxide
The answer is C. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas, but it is released in much smaller quantities than carbon dioxide. It is also not a particularly strong greenhouse gas and has a fairly short residence time. And nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas as its molecules do not have bond dipoles.

Ad hominem fallacy.
carbon dioxide and monoxide are the main causes of the global warming CO2 is produced by cars factories burning stuff Etc.
but CO2 is not always a problem for example if the world has a lots of plants CO2 would not be a problem but because of humans lots of plants are gone
Carbon monoxide is produced also in cars and if you lighted a candle and putted a jar on it
it will produce CO witch is toxic
Effect of greenhouse gases (including water vapor) is 30 degrees C. Amount of increase in forcing of greenhouse gases (source excludes water vapor for some reason) since 1750 is 3.234 watts per square meter (see cdiac link), about .0025 of the total 1368 watts per square meter we receive from the sun. That fraction of earth's 30 degree greenhouse-gas heating capability is about .07 of a degree. Humans are only responsible for 14 percent of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (see cdiac link Q#7), so the "human induced global warming" attributable to human carbon dioxide is less than .01 degree! Methane has a proportionally larger effect, but controlling methane would be futile. In contrast, attempting to control carbon dioxide is inane.
The politically correct answer is: "C"
The correct answer is: "none of the above"
Watch these and you will see why.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
D. hot air. There has been no warming in 17 years, in spite of increased CO2. Anthropogenic global warming is a pseudoscience.
If you are taking a test, the answer they want is (c)
The same gas that reduces the incidences of dragons, pixies and fairies.
d) methane
Tell your teacher s/he needs to revisit this issue.
C
To effectively reduce human-induced global warming, an emission reduction of this gas is necessary
a. carbon monoxide
b. nitrogen
c. carbon dioxide
