The main reserves of phosphorus in the biosphere is in the

A. hydrosphere

B. troposphere

C. lithosphere

D. atmosphere

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The main reserves of phosphorus in the biosphere is in the lithosphere. The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Unlike many other biogeochemical cycles, the atmosphere does not play a significant role in the movement of phosphorus, because phosphorus and phosphorus-based compounds are usually solids at the typical ranges of temperature and pressure found on Earth.
