The carbon cycle explains how carbon moves through various components of the Earth system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, encompassing both living and non-living ecosystems. None of the provided responses fully capture this complexity, as they all imply a limited scope.
The most accurate response should highlight that carbon moves between both living (biosphere) and non-living (geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) systems. If you need to choose one of the options given, "carbon only moves between living and non-living ecosystems" would be the best fit, as it acknowledges the connection between these two spheres without restricting the movement to a specific pair of ecosystems.
