Answer:

Burning of fossil fuels

Step-by-step explanation:

Human activities that increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are;

1) Burning of fossil fuels in industrial and internal combustion engines

2) Depletion of the available forest cover, due to the consumption of wood as a raw material

3) Farming expansion that lead to clearing of forests for farming

4) Industrial activities such as the production of cement

5) Deforestation to provide land for development including buildings and infrastructure.
