C. they burn dead inorganic matter and return the nutrients to the soil.

Hope this helps!

C is the correct answer. Nothing good comes from cutting down animal species, and nothing good comes from allowing older plants to grow either. Releasing nutrients back to the soil allows the ecosystem to continue and grow.
