d. They produce methane, a greenhouse gas.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be option D.

Landfills contribute to global warming by producing greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide.

Landfills are the places where waste materials are stored and degraded.

The waste materials contain a high amount of organic matter decomposition of which results in the production of gases such as methane and carbon dioxide.

These gases get accumulated in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
