The correct comparison is:

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

This statement accurately reflects the common gases released by fertilizers and landfills. Fertilizers can lead to the release of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, while the decomposition of organic waste in landfills generates methane (CH4), another significant greenhouse gas.
