A. All of the answer choices are correct.

Explanation:

Giant sequoia trees

They are long - living and the largest living organism on the planet Earth.

They are majorly found in the western slopes of the Sierra Mountains present in the California.

These tress can grow to an average height of 50 to 85 meters, with diameter measuring 6 to 8 meters.

They are also responsible for the generation of carbon dioxide via cellular respiration. It is the net sink of the carbon dioxide. It incorporates the carbon dioxide into the biomass.
