(N/A) Based on the carbon cycle diagram:
$1$ - Organic compounds (plants)
$2$ - Organic compounds (animals)
$3$ - Inorganic carbonates (shells)
$4$ - Carbonates in water
$5$ - Limestone
$(b)$ Two natural processes: Respiration and Decomposition. One man-made process: Combustion of fossil fuels.
$(c)$ $CO_2$ is necessary for plants for photosynthesis to produce food. However,it is a pollutant because:
$(i)$ It is a greenhouse gas that traps heat,leading to an increase in the average global temperature.
$(ii)$ Excessive $CO_2$ is the primary driver of global warming and climate change.

Simran and Ria were enjoying dancing in the rain. Suddenly, a question struck Ria's mind: "How does rain fall on Earth?" To this, her elder sister Simran explained the water cycle: how clouds are formed when water evaporates due to the heating of water bodies, rises, expands, and cools to form tiny droplets that grow larger to form clouds, which then sprinkle rainwater onto the Earth. Simran also told Ria that this rainwater is essential and precious and must be conserved.
