The correct answer is carbon dioxide (CO2).During the combustion (burning) of fossil fuels, the primary gas released is carbon dioxide (CO2). This is because the carbon in the fossil fuels reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct.The other options provided are not the primary gases released during the combustion of fossil fuels:- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a byproduct of the combustion of certain fossil fuels, such as coal, that contain sulfur impurities.- Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that can be released during the extraction and production of fossil fuels, but it is not the primary gas released during combustion.- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas that can be produced in incomplete combustion, but it is not the main product of complete combustion of fossil fuels.Therefore, the correct answer is carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the primary gas released during the combustion of fossil fuels.
