A. Sulfur compounds in magna reacts with the rocks in the ground to produce methane.
B. Methane is easily destroyed by ultraviolet photons coming from the Sun.
C. Methane is easily destroyed in the hot atmosphere of Titan.
D. The only known source of methane on solar system bodies is from volcanism.

Answer 1

D. The only known source of methane on solar system bodies is from volcanism.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As the energy from the sun could have converted all the terraces of the methane in the titan atmosphere which is more amount of hydrocarbons within a period of 50 million years compared to the solar system the methane thus was replenished by the reservoir deep within the titan itself as the moon lies in the 95% of magnetosphere of the Saturn its interior atmosphere release methane in the form of cryovolcanoes.
