The correct statement that exemplifies how carbon moves through a food chain as part of the carbon cycle is:

Producers take in carbon dioxide, and consumers release it.

This reflects the process of photosynthesis where producers (like plants) absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and when consumers (like animals) respire or decompose, they release carbon back into the environment.
