Solution

The correct option is C Sulphur
The cells of living things are made mainly of four elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Phosphorus and calcium are next in abundance after these 4 elements. Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
So, the correct option is 'Sulphur'.
