carbon dioxide

nitrogen

carbonate

carbon monoxide

Respuesta :

The answer is carbon dioxide

Answer: Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The carbon is stored in the form of carbon dioxide in the geosphere. The dead and decaying organic matter gets buried inside the earth and after thousands of year the organic matter under high pressure is converted into fossil fuels.

When these fossil fuels are burned then the gas released is carbon dioxide. Other fossil fuels also release carbon dioxide by burning into atmosphere.

Hence, the correct answer is carbon dioxide.
