The greenhouse gases that result in increased heat held in our atmosphere from your list are:
1. **Carbon dioxide (CO2)** - a significant greenhouse gas produced by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
2. **Methane gas (CH4)** - another potent greenhouse gas, released during the production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as from livestock and other agricultural practices.
3. **Water vapor (H2O)** - the most abundant greenhouse gas, which contributes to the greenhouse effect but is primarily influenced by natural processes such as evaporation and condensation.
**Oxygen (O2)** is not considered a greenhouse gas; it does not significantly contribute to the greenhouse effect.
So, the greenhouse gases from your options are **Carbon dioxide, Methane gas, and Water vapor**.
