The correct response is:

The carbon in carbon dioxide is recycled during photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. Through a series of chemical reactions, they convert this carbon dioxide into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and other organic compounds, thus recycling carbon in the process.
