D. Hydrogen gas is less dense than oxygen gas.

Explanation:

Earth's atmosphere is mainly comprised of two gases namely nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). The proportion of hydrogen is very little because its density is significantly low. So, it moves upward lost in the space. According to an estimate, approximately 95000 tonnes of hydrogen is lost every year.
