Options

  1. ACarbon dioxide is released by plants during respiration, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
  2. BThe rate of carbon dioxide release from human activities far exceeds the rate of carbon dioxide absorption by
  3. CCarbon dioxide, although absorbed by plants, remains trapped in plant biomass, adding to greenhouse gases when
  4. DCarbon dioxide released from plant respiration combines with other greenhouse gases, intensifying the effect.

Correct answer

B. The rate of carbon dioxide release from human activities far exceeds the rate of carbon dioxide absorption by

Step-by-step solution
