Question
a bog is considered a carbon sink because:
it stores carbon in peat
it releases carbon
it has no plants
it is dry
Brief Explanations
A carbon sink is a reservoir that stores more carbon than it releases. Bogs accumulate partially decomposed plant material (peat) which stores carbon. Releasing carbon would mean it's a source, not a sink. Bogs have plants (like mosses), and they are wet, not dry. So the correct reason is it stores carbon in peat.
