Hydrosphere.
Explanation: bodies of water (oceans, lakes, rivers) absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and hold dissolved inorganic carbon (CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, CO3^2-); aquatic photosynthesizers and marine organisms then incorporate that carbon into the biological and geological parts of the carbon cycle.
