• A. Ionic exchange
• B. Carriers
• C. Phosphorylation of elements
• D. None of the above

The correct option is B Carriers

Plants absorb minerals from the soil in the form of inorganic ions. Active mineral absorption is an active process and thus it requires the ATP. This process occurs through special carrier proteins in the plasma membrane.

So the correct answer is 'Carriers'.
