Solution

The correct option is C Solution of mineral nutrients
  • In 1860, Julius von Sachs, a prominent German botanist, demonstrated, for the first time, that plants could be grown to maturity in a defined nutrient solution in the complete absence of soil. This technique of growing plants in a nutrient solution is known as hydroponics.
  • Hence Hydroponics is growing plants in a solution of mineral nutrients.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Solution of mineral nutrients'.
