Answer: A & C

Explanation: Animals are consumers and all of they food they eat contains carbon which is then passed out in feces and returned to the earth through what is essentially a lesser form of decomposition. Dogs also breathe just like us by taking in oxygen and breathing out co2 which contributes to the carbon cycle as well.
