Solution

The correct option is B Phosphorous
Crystalline rocks are the natural source of Phosphorus. It is not found free in nature, but it is widely distributed in many minerals, mainly phosphates. Inorganic phosphate rock, which is partially made of apatite (an impure tri-calcium phosphate mineral), is today the chief commercial source of this element. It is an essential mineral nutrient for all plants and animals. It forms the ions the of phosphates and hydrogen phosphates. It acts as building blocks of certain parts like bones and teeth in humans and animals. It is found in water, soil, and sediments, it cannot be found air in the gaseous state like other compounds of matter cycles.
