Breakdown of carbon in plant tissues to form fossil fuels (e.g., oil) takes millions of years to form reservoirs of Carbon (Option C). This element is present in all cells of an organism.

  • The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon atoms continually circulates between living things (biotic factors) and non-living things (abiotic factors)

  • The carbon cycle consists of four different processes, i.e., photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and combustion.

  • During the carbon cycle, the atoms of carbon move from fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil) to the atmosphere when fuels suffer combustion (i.e., when they are burned).

In conclusion, the breakdown of carbon in plant tissues to form fossil fuels (e.g., oil) takes millions of years to form reservoirs of Carbon (Option C). This element is present in all cells of an organism.
