The gas used for artificial ripening of green fruits is

carbon dioxide

acetylene

ethane

oxygen

Explanation:

Calcium carbide is also used in some countries for artificially ripening fruit. When calcium carbide comes in contact with moisture, it produces acetylene gas, which is quite similar in its effects to the natural ripening agent, ethylene. Acetylene acts like ethylene and accelerates the ripening process. Hence option 2nd is correct.
