A: Nitrogen
B: Methane
C: Carbon
D: None of these
Methane has a high global warming potential especially over a twenty year horizon. Exact factors vary by methodology yet many briefs cite values around eighty relative to carbon dioxide. Methane breaks down faster than carbon dioxide but delivers strong near term forcing. Therefore methane is the targeted answer for potency comparisons.
