The correct option is B atmosphere

Biogeochemical cycles

The movement of nutrient elements like carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus through components of the ecosystem is called nutrient or biogeochemical cycling. This ensures that valuable nutrients are not lost.

There are two types of nutrient recycling:

● Gaseous

● Sedimentary

Reservoir

The location in the biosphere where the particular nutrient is present at a high concentration and for a long period is called a reservoir in a biogeochemical cycle. For gaseous cycles, the reservoir is usually the atmosphere whereas for sedimentary cycles it is the lithosphere.

Final answer

b. atmosphere
