Explanation:

Step1: Start with plant taking in carbon

The carrot - plant first takes in carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis (step 3).

Step2: Herbivore consumes plant

The rabbit then eats the carrot - plant (step 2).

Step3: Decomposition occurs

The rabbit decomposes after its life - cycle ends (step 1).

Step4: Carbon returns to soil

Carbon compounds are returned to the soil (step 4).
