A) the soil.
B) the air.
C) water.
D) the sun.
E) carbon-fixing prokaryotes.

Accepted Answer

Plants primarily acquire carbon from the air through the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air is converted into organic compounds by the plant, providing the plant with energy and carbon. While plants do require other nutrients from the soil and water, their primary source of carbon is from the air.
