Why is argon counted among permanent gases though it is a relatively inert atmospheric gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because its proportion generally remains nearly stable
The classification of atmospheric gases as permanent or variable is based mainly on whether their proportion remains nearly constant over time, not on their chemical reactivity. Argon is chemically inert, but its key classification feature is its generally stable atmospheric proportion. Therefore, option C is correct. Options A, B and D describe processes that do not define permanent gases and are scientifically incorrect.
