Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: Hydrogen and Helium initially, both were present on the earth's atmosphere. But later they were reduced upto a huge extent. Due to the location of earth near to the sun, these gases must have evaporated from the earth's atmosphere. At present the amount of hydrogen and helium is very less.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
