Solution

The correct option is A Nutrient
Biofertilizer is a substance that contains living organisms which is used to increase the fertility of the soil. It improves the growth of plant by increasing the content of the soil and thereby increasing the availability of nutrients to the host plant. Also, it does not allow pathogens to flourish. Various biofertilizers are Rhizobium, Azotobacter, blue green algae (BGA). They live in symbiotic association with the plants and provides nitrogen to the plant.
