Answer 2

Atoms other than radioactive ones do not normally change, so the carbon atoms on earth have been here for millions of years in plants, in CO2, in animals, and in other carbon compounds. Animals eat other animals, decay releases CO2 and other compounds, plants pick up the CO2, animals eat the plants, etc. It is a long chain of events. Hope this helps you pick an option! :)
