Answer 1

The correct option is A Nutrients

Soil contains minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium that are essential for plants. Soil also holds water which is used by plants. The air present in the soil helps roots breathe. Soil also acts as an anchor to hold the plant upright. Roots latch on to soil and rocks to support the plant as it grows.
