The process of carbon being sequestered in soil by plants through photosynthesis is called b. Soil sequestration.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
2. The carbon absorbed by the plants is used to produce glucose, which is used for growth and development.
3. Some of this carbon is transferred to the soil when plant material (like leaves and roots) falls to the ground and decomposes.
4. The decomposed plant material is then incorporated into the soil, effectively storing (or "sequestering") the carbon.
5. This process is referred to as soil sequestration because the carbon is being stored in the soil.
