What is the next phase of the carbon cycle for the carbon source labeled c? (2 points) label a shows a collection of coal, oil and gas. label b shows a collection of trees and vegetation. label c shows sky and open atmosphere. cellular respiration photosynthesis fossil fuels decomposition

THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER 👇

Option A; cellular respiration

Explanation: Since the arrow is in the open air, it will not be photosynthesis, because this process involves trees and vegetation, in Label B. So option B is wrong. Option C applies to fossil fuels labeled under A, so it is again an incorrect answer. Organic matter will be decomposed on land or in water. Therefore, option D is also wrong.

Since the CO2 released from respiration will add to the atmosphere, option A is a correct answer.
