Which describes the relationship between plants and animals in the carbon cycle?
A
Plants produce and release oxygen that animals need
B
Plants produce and release carbon dioxide that animals need
C
Animals produce and release oxygen that plants need
D
Animals produce oxygen that plants turn into carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too. Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of these correctly describes the relationship between plants and animals in the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle? Plants produce and release the oxygen that animals need to breathe.

Detailed explanation-3: -When they’re exposed to light, green plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to manufacture living matter and release oxygen into the air. This process is called photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is produced through the respiration of animals and plants, which consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is C) Plants produce O2 and sugars and animals produce CO2 and H2 O. This statement best describe the relationship between plant and animals on earth as plant are autotrophs and they can produce sugar and oxygen with the help of carbon dioxide and water molecule in presence of sunlight.
