Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 3
The Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 16 February 2005, satisfying statement 1. It addresses greenhouse-gas mitigation under the UNFCCC, not ozone-layer depletion (statement 2 incorrect). Methane has a 100-year global-warming potential about 28 times that of CO₂, making it more damaging per unit mass (statement 3 correct). Thus statements 1 and 3 are correct.
