Options (1) and (2)

Explanation:

The atmosphere is defined as the gaseous envelope that surrounds the earth. It is comprised of various gases which are found to be present at a certain amount, and this amount can also be increased or decreased depending on the processes and activities that take place on the earth's surface.
