Solution

The correct option is B Hydroponics
The technique of cultivation of plants in a nutrient medium is called as hydroponics, which was first devised by Von Sach. The most important resource, that soil provides to plants is the minerals. Hence, if plants are grown in a nutrient medium, soil may not be necessary for cultivation of plants. Important vegetables like cucumber, lettuce and tomato have been grown using this technique.
