Which is the clearest example of human interference in atmospheric composition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Increase in CO₂ and particles due to fossil fuel burning
The governing concept is anthropogenic change in air composition. Burning coal, oil, and gas adds carbon dioxide and particulate matter to the atmosphere; combustion can also release pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur compounds. These emissions directly alter the concentration of atmospheric constituents. Earth’s magnetism, ocean tides, and moonlight are natural phenomena and do not represent a comparable chemical addition to the air. Thus option A is correct.
