C
Photosynthesis
D
Death
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide naturally-and trees are especially good at storing carbon removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon Dioxide Removal The two main strategies for removing carbon from the atmosphere are tree planting and forest restoration or conservation efforts, and direct air capture (DAC), according to a World Resources Institute report released in 2020.

Detailed explanation-4: -As plants and trees grow, they take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into sugars through photosynthesis. In this way, U.S. forests absorb 13 percent of the nation’s carbon emissions; globally, forests store almost a third of the world’s emissions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbon removal is sometimes referred to as carbon dioxide removal or CDR, and technologies for implementing carbon removal are sometimes called Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs). Some prominent ideas for carbon removal include: planting massive new forests (afforestation/reforestation)
