Solution

The correct option is A Photosynthesis
Oxygen balance in the atmosphere is maintained by a process called photosynthesis.

The gases (mainly oxygen and nitrogen) that form the earth's atmosphere, and the survival of life on the planet hinges on the right balance of these gases.

In photosynthesis, plants constantly absorb and release atmospheric gases in a way that creates sugar for food. This process plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy, life-promoting atmosphere.

The amount of gases in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion.

Photosynthesis by plants is a key process in the evolution of the earth's atmosphere.

Option A is correct.
