D is wrong,legumes are part of nitrogen fixation, any plant contributes to carbon fixation because photosynthesis is a common process in plants

anonymous · Answer

I'm going with A. B: turning forests into housing developments kills trees. C: digging up prairies where plants are already growing to plant crops wouldn't make sense. D: putting beans or any other legumes would take more farm equipment to harvest them which all produce carbon dioxide themselves, so... I'm going with A.
