Answer 1

D BIOMASS ENERGY

Step-by-step explanation:

Most biomass requires arable land to develop. This means

that land used for biofuel crops such as corn and soybeans

are unavailable to grow food or provide natural habitats.

Forested areas that have matured for decades (so-called

“old-growth forests”) are able to sequester more carbon

than newly planted areas.
