Methane-makers in this story are archaea, not ordinary bacteria. The figure 4 belongs in the answer because The molecule they release has 4 hydrogen atoms on one carbon, which is why the gas is called methane rather than a bacterial waste of another formula.

The number · 4
The molecule they release has 4 hydrogen atoms on one carbon, which is why the gas is called methane rather than a bacterial waste of another formula. That is why 4 is printed on this card rather than left as a vague “many”. Open the linked section if you need the map, not a personal instruction.
