Which process helps reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and maintain its balance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Photosynthesis
During photosynthesis, green plants, algae, and some microorganisms take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use light energy to form carbohydrates, releasing oxygen as a by-product. This directly removes carbon dioxide from the air. Combustion, respiration, and volcanic emissions generally add carbon dioxide instead. Hence option C is the correct process for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
