Answer 1

The most accurate comparison between the gases released by fertilizers and those from landfills is:

Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.

This is because fertilizers, especially nitrogen-based ones, can contribute to the release of nitrous oxide (N₂O), and landfills are significant sources of methane (CH₄) due to the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste.
