The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil. Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks, the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.

Airida [17]

Correct answer: D). DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more variant alleles.

The genetic diversity can be increased by the mutation that creates new alleles in the population. The recombinant DNA technology enables the joining of DNA from the two or more than two sources that allow changing the genetic composition of the living organism. The genetic diversity helps the population to adapt to the changing environment.

Hence, the correct answer would be option D.
