Explanation:

Hey there!

Basically, we name hydrocarbon in two ways. They are;

Trival system of nomenclature: This system was used on past. They were given name knowing their sources from which hydrocarbon are obtained. On this naming we don't use scientific rules and structural values. For example; methane was named from marsh gas.
IUPAC system of nomenclature: As the above method was not standard. IUPAC (International Union of pure and applied chemistry) improved the system and the started naming hydrocarbon. The IUPAC name of any compound contains two parts: root word and suffix. Example: Methane is named from root word Meth as it has one no.of carbon and suffix ane as it has single bonding.

True

Explanation:

The first artificial use of a PGR was to stimulate the production of flowers on pineapple plants. They are now used widely in agriculture. Plant hormones are also used in turf management to reduce the need to mow, to suppress seedheads, and to suppress other types of grass.

HOW DO SCIENTISTS FORECAST SPACE WEATHER AND WHY

Fittoniya [83]

Much like tornado watchers look to the skies for clues that a twister is forming, NASA and university scientists are watching the Sun in an effort to better predict space weather – blasts of particles from the Sun that impact the magnetosphere, the magnetic bubble around the Earth.

Tom [10]

Methane was unusually high is the correct option. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is methane?</h3>

Methane is the simplest member of the paraffin series of hydrocarbons and is among the most potent greenhouse gases. Its chemical formula is $CH_4$ .

As the ice compacts over some time, tiny bubbles of the atmosphere or surroundings including greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane—press inside the ice. These air pocket “fossils” give samples of what the atmosphere was kind when that layer of ice formed.

Based upon past studies and insights from current GHG levels, we assume that atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and methane were unusually low.
