Solution

The correct option is C Only i & ii are correct
In 1860, Julius von Sachs described a new method to grow plants which involved growing of plants without soil in a nutrient solution. This method is called hydroponics. It is however important to aerate the solution in order for an optimum plant growth. This method has been successfully used to commercially grow tomato, cucumber & lettuce.
