Option (b)  

Explanation:  

• Sedimentary cycles take place when a rock gets weathered and its elements and minerals are released and eroded, and then they get transferred and deposited or absorbed by other processes and finally are returned back and buried into the earth.  
• These cycles of sedimentation include earthly elements like calcium, iron, phosphorus, and sulphur. Biogeochemical cycles also occur that too lead to burial of the elements to the earth’s surface.
