Correct answer: A. ( A ) , ( B ) , ( C ) only

Methane leads to both global warming & photochemical smog. Methane is generated in large amounts from paddy fields. CO _ 2 can be absorbed by photosynthesis, or by formation of acid rain etc., while no such activities are there for methane. Hence methane is stronger global warming gas than CO _ 2 , Methane is not a component of reducing smog.
