Solution

The correct option is A N
Azotobacter is a free living bacteria in the soil. It helps some cereal crops like maize (Zea mays) in nitrogen fixation. The farmer adds Azotobacter culture to the maize field for enhancing the nitrogen element in the soil by the process of biological nitrogen-fixation.
Thus, the correct answer is 'N.'
