Options

  1. AFossil fuels
  2. BOceans
  3. CMicrobes
  4. DRock

Correct answer

B. Oceans

Step-by-step solution

Carbon naturally moves between these reservoirs by many processes, such as carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ) dissolving in the ocean, plants absorbing C O 2 in photosynthesis, animals eating carbohydrates stored in plants, and releasing C O 2 through respiration. The ocean is the largest reservoir of carbon among all. Any disturbance in the carbon level is balanced by carbon stored in the ocean.
