D) photosynthesis, respiration, dead organisms, fossil fuels, burning of fossil fuels

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence in the carbon cycle involves photosynthesis (where plants absorb CO2), respiration (organisms release CO2), the formation of dead organisms (which can become fossil fuels over time), the creation of fossil fuels, and finally, the burning of fossil fuels (releasing CO2 back into the atmosphere).
