A, C, D

Photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and decomposition are part of the fast carbon cycle (days–years to decades), moving carbon between atmosphere, plants, animals and soils. Sedimentation and fossil-fuel formation occur over geologic timescales (millions of years) and are slow processes.
