Answer 1

The most accurate response to the question "How do humans cycle carbon from the biosphere to the atmosphere?" is:

by driving cars that use gasoline for fuel

This activity releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels. While respiration also contributes to this cycle, it is less significant in terms of the overall carbon flux compared to the emissions from driving cars.
