The correct option is B) a pattern of biological functioning that occurs on a 24-hour cycle.
Explanation:
Biological rhythm is defined as the regular variation of an organic function related to the course of time, circadian biological phenomena (around the day), are those with a period of approximately 24 hours.
Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a daily cycle (the biological rhythm), and that respond primarily to light and darkness in an organism's environment. This cycle close to 24 hours, allows to recognize the sleep-wake phenomena and their homeostatic action, in the systemic processes of every living being. The circadian system is composed of photoreceptors, pacemakers and efferent pathways that allow a regular functioning of the sleep and wakeful state.
Well, dissolved carbon is basically carbon, and carbon and other atmospheric gases dissolve in water. So that would most likely lead to the answer being oceans and lakes.
