Rock cycle
D
Oxygen cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is the Phosphorus cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Sulphur and Phosphorus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biogeochemical cycles important to living organisms include the water, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sulphur Cycle This biogeochemical cycle moves through the rocks, water bodies and living systems. Sulphur is released into the atmosphere by the weathering of rocks and is converted into sulphates.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ecological systems (ecosystems) have many biogeochemical cycles operating as a part of the system, for example, the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, etc. All chemical elements occurring in organisms are part of biogeochemical cycles.
