Question

Which of the following is considered to be the optimum concentration of carbon dioxide for natural balance in atmosphere?

  1. 0.02%
  2. 0.03%
  3. 0.04%
  4. 0.05%

Answer:

Option C: 0.04%

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “0.04%”.

The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the Earth's atmosphere is typically around 0.03% to 0.04% (300-400 parts per million). This level is considered to be within the natural balance necessary for maintaining Earth's climate and supporting plant photosynthesis.
