Solution
The correct option is B Protozoa
Protozoa play a major role in replenishing nutrients in the soil. Protozoa have a lower concentration of nitrogen in their cells than the bacteria they eat. Therefore, they obtain and utilize the amount of nitrogen needed and release the excess in the form of ammonium, thereby making it available for use by plants and other soil organisms. So the correct option is 'Protozoa'
