A
planting more trees and green spaces
B
Reducing coal based electricity
C
Fertilizing the ocean with iron to encourage algae growth.
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The idea is to stabilize carbon in solid and dissolved forms so that it doesn’t cause the atmosphere to warm. The process shows tremendous promise for reducing the human “carbon footprint.” There are two main types of carbon sequestration: biological and geological.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biological methods of carbon sequestration consist of indirect methods. The most important of them include afforestation of land (forest ecosystems), sequestration through the biosphere, proper cultivation of land (agriculture), peat bogs and peat, as well as fertilization of oceans (Eloka-Eboka and Inambao, 2017).

Detailed explanation-3: -Forests. Forests and woodlands are considered one of the best forms of natural carbon sequestration. Soil. Through bogs, peat and swamps, carbon can be captured and stored as carbonates. Oceans. Graphene production. Engineered molecules. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Detailed explanation-4: -Biological Carbon Sequestration. Biological carbon sequestration is the storage of carbon dioxide in vegetation such as grasslands or forests, as well as in soils and oceans. Geological Carbon Sequestration. Technological Carbon Sequestration. 31-Jan-2022
