- A.

- B.
  
  2000 years
- C.
  
  650 000 years
Correct Answer
C. 650 000 years

Explanation
Greenhouse gas levels are higher now than they have been in the last 650,000 years. This suggests that the current levels of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, in the Earth's atmosphere are unprecedented in recent history. The increase in greenhouse gas levels is primarily attributed to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which release large amounts of these gases into the atmosphere. This increase in greenhouse gases is causing global warming and climate change, with potentially severe consequences for the planet and its ecosystems.
