Answer 1

The activity that can reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is **recycling materials**. Recycling helps to decrease the need for new raw materials, which in turn can reduce the energy consumption and emissions associated with extracting and processing those materials. The other options, such as using petroleum-based fuel in cars, burning fossil fuels, and building more factories that use fossil fuels, all contribute to an increase in carbon emissions.
