Solution

The correct option is C Carbon
Carbon is the essential component required by all organic compounds and is absorbed in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in huge quantities.
Nitrogen, magnesium and phosphorus are not present in all organic compounds and are absorbed from the soil.
So the correct answer is 'Carbon'.
