Solution

The correct option is B I, II,IV
Carbon cycle involves the movement of carbon in both its elemental and combined state on earth. During respiration, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Plants utilise this atmospheric carbon dioxide for their growth & development. Death and decay of living things leads to formation of coal which is made up of carbon. Limestones are formed by the sedimentation of carbonates of water. Ammonification is a part of the nitrogen cycle.
