Answer 1

d. More carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere in the area by plants

Step-by-step explanation:

Wildfire are defined as an uncontrolled or unplanned fire in an area.

Wildfires are common in California because of combustible vegetation and that affects the carbon cycle. When vegetation burns during wildfire it releases a lot of carbon dioxide. Higher carbon-dioxide increases the rate of photosynthesis in plants. Plants utilize the higher CO2 concentration at a faster rate and more carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere.

Hence, the correct answer is "d".
