Solution
The correct option is C Photosynthesis
Nutrient cycles circulate matter through the biosphere. The nutrients regularly alternate between living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components. Hence, the nutrient cycles are also called as biogeochemical cycles. The important nutrient cycles are water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, mineral cycle. The processes that are a part of the water cycle are transpiration, evaporation, precipitation, run-off surface water, percolation of water to ground water table. The process of photosynthesis is carried out by autotrophs and traps solar energy in an ecosystem. It is not a part of the water cycle.So, the correct answer is option D.
