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.

Yard : fence :: cell : nucleus cytoplasm membrane mitochondria

slava [35]

<span>The correct answer is membrane. Just like the fence protects the yard so does a membrane protect the cell. It prevents things from getting in or out unless passageways are created. The things in the yard would be the mitochondria and other organelles, while the air in the yard and the ground where all things are found would be the cytoplasm. The membrane protects what's in just like a fence protects those in the yard.</span>
