Solution

The correct option is C

Underdeveloped shoots


Zinc is a micronutrient that is required in trace amounts by the plant. Zinc activates certain enzymes and auxin synthesis which in turn helps in the development of shoots. Thus a deficiency of zinc would result in an underdeveloped shoot system.
