Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Livestock farming
Livestock, especially cattle and buffalo, release methane during digestion, a process called enteric fermentation. Methane can also be produced from manure, rice paddies, wetlands, and landfills. It is a powerful greenhouse gas, so increased methane emissions can enhance warming. Vehicle exhaust is mainly associated with carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
