Solution

Out of the options provided, "Plants" remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. Plants: Plants perform a process called photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and, using sunlight, convert it into oxygen and glucose. This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to reduce the overall amount of this greenhouse gas.

  2. Decomposers: Decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down dead organisms and waste products, which releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. So, decomposers do not remove carbon dioxide; instead, they contribute to it.

  3. Animals: Animals, including humans, breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon
