Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) B

Explanation

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are released mainly from refrigerants and aerosols, not from automobiles, so (B) is wrongly matched.

Correct pairs: Carbon dioxide from thermal power stations, Nitrous oxide from waterlogged paddy fields, and Sulphur dioxide from brick kilns.

Automobiles chiefly emit CO, NOx and hydrocarbons, not CFCs.
