    Explanation:

    When arranging the sources of methane emissions in descending order:

    Wetlands are the largest natural source.

    Agriculture is the largest human-made source, especially rice cultivation and livestock.

    Energy-related activities, including production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas.

    Waste, such as landfills and wastewater.

    Biomass burning, though significant, emits less methane compared to the other sources.
