Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The phosphorus cycle does not have a gaseous phase; phosphorus typically cycles through water, soil, and sediments, unlike carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, which have significant gaseous forms (CO2, N2, SO2, etc.) and hydrologic processes involving evaporation and condensation.
