The correct response is: Chemicals from fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while landfills release methane.

Fertilizers can contribute to the release of nitrous oxide (N₂O), especially when they decompose in the soil. On the other hand, landfills primarily produce methane (CH₄) as organic waste decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen).
