Carbon is taken from the atmosphere through a. combustion of organic material b. photosynthesis c. volcanic activity d. respiration of plants and animals

The right answer is photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis aims to create energy (in the form of carbohydrate) from the light energy from the sun. The organisms that use the photosynthesis mechanism are autotrophic because they make organic materials from inorganic materials, plus Carbon dioxide which is taken from the air.
