1. The first blank should be parallel to "sequester" carbon. Facilitate is opposite in meaning and ameliorate is not parallel to sequester. Only "curb" fits here.
2. Coastal habitats are razed for development and hence preventing their disruption makes sense here. Conservation and expansion are opposites and do not fit.
3. "Not released" is logically concluding the paragraph in the third blank.

Just as preserving forests offers a chance to sequester carbon and (i) ___ unfavorable climate change ,
preventing the (ii) ___ of coastal habitats, which are often razed for development or aquaculture, ensures that their deep carbon deposits are (iii) ___ into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
We only need to focus on one thing. The highlighted "comma" used here in the same direction.
So, Blank 1st----- offers a chance to sequester ----pick up the "curb".
2nd -----preventing coastal habitats from razed -----pick "disruption".
3rd(as it same direction for the comma) -----so preventing their deep carbon deposits ---pick "not released".
