The best evidence to support the student's claim that "Life is possible because of the unique mixture of gases that cycle through the Earth’s spheres" is:
a diagram illustrating how plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce food and oxygen gas.
This diagram directly relates to the cycling of gases (like carbon dioxide and oxygen) in the Earth's spheres and highlights the importance of this process for sustaining life.
