Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, disrupting the balance of the carbon cycle. Clearing trees and plants also has a significant impact on the carbon cycle by reducing the amount of photosynthesis, which removes carbon from the atmosphere, and increasing the amount of respiration, which releases carbon into the atmosphere. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it includes both of these human activities that disrupt the carbon cycle.
