B. putting more red blood cells into circulation when atmospheric oxygen levels decline.

<h3>What are stomata?</h3>

The stomata are apertures in the epidermis, each bounded by two guard cells. There are small openings on the lower surface of the leaves. These pores are called stomata. Loss of water from the stomata creates an upward pull, that is suction pull, which helps in the absorption of water from the roots. That is helpful for the transpiration process. They help in exchange for gases. Any of the tiny pores or openings in the epidermis of leaves and young stems are referred to as a stomate, sometimes known as a stoma, the plural of which is stoma or stomas. On the underside of the leaves, stomata tend to be more numerous. They enable the exchange of gases between the atmosphere outside and the leaf's branching network of interconnected air canals.

Ket [755]

The correct answer is - That some force lifted the rocks from the water.

The fact that there's sedimentary rocks on the tops of the mountains is an evidence that there has been some force that managed to lift upwards parts of the seafloor. Taking into consideration how slowly this force manages to lift up parts of the Earth, we can easily assume that the Earth is very old. The amount of time that is needed for a part of the seafloor to be lifted few thousand meters upwards is counted in tens of millions of years, thus giving us evidence that the Earth has been around for a very long time.
