Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :

Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Most of the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) come primarily from burning fossil fuels (coal, hydrocarbon gas liquids, natural gas, and petroleum) for energy use and the major greenhouse gas is of course carbon dioxide (CO2) which comes from burning fossil fuels and land-use change. But methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which mostly come from agriculture and waste, are also significant GHGs and shouldn't be discounted.

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :

Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture in pre-existing rocks, without the protolith melting into liquid magma. The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.   The parent rock must be in solid form. Tons of pressure must be applied for metamorphism to happen. The process must take place underground.
