Solution

The correct option is A Fe

Chlorosis is the loss of the normal green coloration of leaves of plants due to loss of chlorophyll. It leads to yellowing of leaves. This is caused by iron deficiency in lime-rich soils, or due to diseases, or lack of light. Other elements that cause chlorosis are nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, manganese, zinc, etc.
