Solution

The correct option is B Phosphorous
Guano is the excretory product of the organisms that lives in arid areas like seabirds, seals, or cave-dwelling bats. It is non-toxic, insoluble and excreted in solid form because of water scarcity. As a manure, it is a highly effective fertilizer due to its exceptionally high content of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium which are essential nutrients for plant growth as it increases the humus content of the soil.
So, the correct answer is option D.
