In which of the following both pairs have correct combination?

  1. A
    Gaseous nutrient cycle: Sulphur and Phosphorus; Sedimentary nutrient cycle: Carbon and Nitrogen
  2. B
    Gaseous nutrient cycle: Carbon and Nitrogen; Sedimentary nutrient cycle: Sulphur and Phosphorus
  3. C
    Gaseous nutrient cycle: Carbon and sulphur; Sedimentary nutrient cycle: Nitrogen and phosphorus
  4. D
    Gaseous nutrient cycle: Nitrogen and sulphur; Sedimentary nutrient cycle: Carbon and Phosphorus

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Gaseous cycles: The reservoir is the atmosphere or hydrosphere (e.g., Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen).Sedimentary cycles: The reservoir is the Earth's crust (e.g., Phosphorus, Sulphur, Calcium).Note: Sulphur has both gaseous and sedimentary phases but is primarily classified as sedimentary in most textbooks.
