Respuesta :

To answer this question we need to analyze each available option.

A. Consumption: Through the consumption of organic compounds, biomass is created, so a part of the carbon is stored in this way, therefore we can say that this is the correct answer.

B. Respiration: Through this process, a glucose molecule of 6 carbons is processed, and as a consequence carbon dioxide is released as a subproduct.

C. All of these: This is incorrect as two statements imply carbon release into the environment.
