Answer 2

Options (1) and (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmosphere is defined as the gaseous envelope that surrounds the earth. It is comprised of various gases which are found to be present at a certain amount, and this amount can also be increased or decreased depending on the processes and activities that take place on the earth's surface.

The atmosphere is helpful because it protects the lives present on earth from the harmful incoming UV radiations emitted from the sun. It also protects the water present on earth from getting evaporated into the atmosphere.

Thus, the correct answers are options (1) and (2).
