The correct answer is B. The primary purpose of the Kyoto Protocol is to limit and decrease the world-wide emission of greenhouse gases.

The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and an international agreement that aims to reduce the emissions of six greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and the other three are types of fluorinated industrial gases: hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC) and hexafluoride sulfur (SF6). The protocol agreed to a reduction of at least 5% of the emissions of these gases in 2008-2012 compared to 1990 emissions.

The primary purpose of the Kyoto Protocol is B. to limit and decrease the world-wide emission of greenhouse gases

Further explanation

The Kyoto protocol is the first agreement between nations to mandate country-by-country reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. It was negotiated in the Japanese city of Kyoto in 1997 and ratified by 140 nations.

The Kyoto Protocol implemented UNFCCC objective to reduce the onset of global warming by reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to "a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system"

Kyoto Protocol goal was to reduce worldwide greenhouse gas emissions to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels, between 2008 and 2012. Compared to the emissions levels that will occur by 2010 without the Kyoto Protocol, this target actually represented a 29 percent cut.

The Kyoto Protocol targeted decrease the world-wide emission of greenhouse gases, including:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Methane
  • Nitrous oxide
  • Hydrofluorocarbons
  • Perfluorocarbons
  • Sulphur hexafluoride

The Kyoto Protocol was not renewed following the end of the commitment period in 2012. Many argues that Kyoto's failure is due to deficiencies of the agreement structure, such as the exemption of developing countries from reductions requirements and lack of an effective emissions trading scheme
