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.

Answer:
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows :
Animals that maintain internal body temperature using heat generated by their own metabolism are called:
A)thermoregulators.
B)hibernators.
C)aerophiles.
D)endotherms.
E)dormants.
- An animal that is capable of maintaining a body temperature that is metabolically favorable for the organism is known as an endotherm.
- The body temperature is maintained by an endotherm by using its internal body capacity to generate heat rather than depending on the ambient temperature.
- Some of the mechanisms used by endotherms to maintain a suitable internal body temperature include shivering, uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, sweating, flushing, etc.
- The endotherms include birds and mammals.
- The ability to perform endothermy is owed to the presence of a large number of mitochondria that enables the organism to increase the rate of metabolism to generate heat as and when required.
