The correct answer is:
d Producers and consumers store and produce carbon compounds.
Producers (like plants) take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to create organic compounds, while consumers (like animals) release carbon dioxide through cellular respiration after consuming these organic compounds. Both play essential roles in the carbon cycle by contributing to the storage and transformation of carbon in different forms.
