The correct response is:
The amount of carbon remains the same throughout time but gets cycled through different parts of the planet.
This statement reflects the concept of the carbon cycle, which emphasizes that while carbon moves between various spheres (atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere), the total amount of carbon on Earth remains constant over geological time scales.
