Answer:
Carbon is an essential factor to the survival of living things.
Explanation:
It is produced as a waste by-product of metabolism in living organisms and combines with oxygen to be released as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
Plants on the other hand require CO2 to process sunlight and nutrients into energy. They in return release oxygen which is required by animals to break down food.
Factories, businesses, people (as they generate electricity, transport people and goods, etc) release lots of carbon into the atmosphere it also combines with oxygen again to form C02.
The ocean and water bodies also serve as a collecting conduit of CO2, especially where the water temperature is relatively warm. When CO2 is captured by the ocean, it is used by some sea animals to make shells.

Answer:
Option D, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation
Explanation:
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the eroded soil. Therefore, erosion is the first step in formation of sedimentary rocks.
The eroded soil or rock is carried by carrier agents such as wind, water etc. and deposited at some place where it gets compacted under its own weight. After deposition and compaction, physio-chemical processes take place to produce chemical bonding between the deposited granular particles. Chemical interactions causes cementation of the compacted material
Hence, option D is correct
The strong force has a range of about the width of an atomic nucleus, and is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together. Like electromagnetic force, the nuclear forces are governed by gauge bosons.
The number of primary consumers would increase because they would not get eaten.
