Questions Related to depletion of ozone layer

Identify the wrong statement/ statement from the following.
(1) ${ CO } _{ 2 }$ is released into the atmosphere through volcanic activity
(2)${ CO } _{ 2 }$ is released into the atmosphere through process of photosynthesis
(3)${ CO } _{ 2 }$ is released into the atmosphere through process of respiration
(4)${ CO } _{ 2 }$ is released into the atmosphere through process of forest fires


zoology human influences on the environment carbon cycle ozone layer depletion and causes depletion of ozone layer

  1. 1 and 3

  2. only 2

  3. only 4

  4. 2 and 4

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oxygen is released in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is released by different human activities like the burning of fossil fuels,  deforestation, burning of petrol etc.

So, the correct option is 'Only 2'.
