2. Carbon is found in which of the following location a. Only in the atmosphere b. Only in living organisms c. In minerals rocks,and fossil fuels d. Only in plants

The answer is **c. In minerals, rocks, and fossil fuels**.Here's why:* **a. Only in the atmosphere:** While carbon exists in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), it's not exclusively found there.* **b. Only in living organisms:** Living organisms are carbon-based, but carbon exists in many other places as well.* **c. In minerals, rocks, and fossil fuels:** This is the correct answer. Carbon is a key component of many minerals (like carbonates), rocks (like limestone), and fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).* **d. Only in plants:** Plants contain carbon, but again, it's not the only place carbon is found.
