Explanation:

Green house potential is also known as global warming potential is the amount of heat trapped by greenhouse gas. It is always measured with respect to Carbon Dioxide which has been given the GHG potential as 1. The highest global warming potential is that of Sulphur hexafluoride followed by perfluoro carbons, nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide. Hence, answer is D
