List - I
(Reservoirs of Earth System)List - II
(Process for Carbon Cycling)A. Mantle I. Burial B. Biosphere II. Photosynthesis C. Crust III. Volcanism D. Atmosphere and Oceans IV. Subduction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
This question involves matching key reservoirs within the Earth system to the primary processes responsible for carbon cycling in each.
We need to correctly pair each reservoir from List - I with its corresponding carbon cycling process from List - II:
Based on the established matches:
Therefore, the correct combination is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
