The question asks for examples of mitigation strategies that enhance sinks of greenhouse gases. Let's evaluate each option:

  1. Scaling up direct air capture systems.
    This is a correct answer. Direct air capture systems are designed to remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, thus enhancing the sink of this greenhouse gas.

  2. Enhancing capturing methane produced by landfills instead of letting it vent into the atmosphere.
    This is not directly enhancing a sink but rather preventing emissions. While it is a mitigation strategy, it does not enhance a sink of greenhouse gases.

  3. Reducing dependency on fossil fuels and replacing energy needs with renewable energy sources.
    This is not a correct answer. While this strategy reduces emissions, it does not directly enhance a sink of greenhouse gases.

  4. Adding more greenspaces to urban areas such as roof-top gardens or enhancing parks to include more native vegetation.
    This is a correct answer. Increasing greenspaces enhances the natural sinks of carbon dioxide, as plants absorb CO2 during photosynthesis.

In summary, the correct answers are:

  • Scaling up direct air capture systems.
  • Adding more greenspaces to urban areas such as roof-top gardens or enhancing parks to include more native vegetation.
