Solution

The correct option is C Material cycles
The utilisation of elements and compounds in nature and their subsequent return to the environment is called material cycles. It is also called as a biogeochemical cycle.
In biology, a life cycle is a series of changes in form that an organism undergoes, returning to the starting state.
Recycle is the conversion of waste into useful forms.
Cyclic pathways tend to use the last product they create to re-begin the cycle.
So, the correct answer is option C.
