Which of the following is a major source of methane emissions?
A. Burning fossil fuels
B. Industrial processes
C. Deforestation
D. Agriculture (livestock, rice paddies)

Agriculture, particularly livestock (enteric fermentation) and rice paddies, is a major source of methane emissions. Burning fossil fuels and industrial processes release CO2, while deforestation releases CO2 and reduces carbon uptake.
Explanation:
A positive IOD (warmer waters in the western Indian Ocean) is generally associated with a stronger Southwest Monsoon and good rainfall in India.
Explanation:
Albedo is the measure of the reflectivity of a surface. A high albedo means the surface reflects most of the incoming solar radiation (e.g., ice, snow), while a low albedo means it absorbs most (e.g., forests, oceans).
