Why is it incomplete to consider carbon dioxide only harmful in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it is needed for photosynthesis, although excess can affect climate
Carbon dioxide has a dual role in the atmosphere. Green plants use it as a raw material for photosynthesis, producing food and releasing oxygen. At the same time, carbon dioxide absorbs outgoing long-wave radiation and acts as a greenhouse gas. Therefore, a normal amount is useful, whereas an excessive increase can disturb the heat balance and climate. Option D correctly states both parts.
