Crop plants absorb carbon in the form of-
A
Elemental carbon from the soil
B
CO2 from the soil
C
CO2 from the air
D
Carbonates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air, combine it with water and light, and make carbohydrates-the process known as photosynthesis. It is well established that as CO2 in the atmosphere increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases. This is known as the CO2 fertilisation effect.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon diffuses into the plant body as carbon dioxide through the stomatal pores.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is worth noting that the majority of plants absorb carbon dioxide during the day for photosynthesis and do so in greater amounts than they release for cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bamboo: THE solution against greenhouse gases Indeed, thee bamboo absorbs 5 times more greenhouse gases and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent volume of trees! It has a very important CO2 retention capacity since one hectare of bamboo grove can capture up to 60 tons of CO2 each year.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process begins with plants, which absorb carbon from the air through the process of photosynthesis. The carbon then moves from plants to the animals that eat them. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decay, transferring the carbon into the ground.
