Consider the following statements.

- An area which absorbs more carbon than releases it, is considered as carbon sink.
- Forests and other land vegetation absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis is one of the ways of Carbon sequestration.

Solution: d)
Carbon sequestration is a crucial part of the global carbon cycle, as it is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. One of the ways this happens is when forests and other land vegetation absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
According to a 2014 NASA-led study, tropical forests remove up to 30 per cent of human carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere and make for an important carbon sink — an area which absorbs more carbon than releases it. Therefore, they have a significant role in keeping global temperatures low.
