Solution

The correct option is C Nitrogen
Nitrogen plays a very important role in the growth of plants. It is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere. But it cannot be absorbed directly by the plants in its elemental form as it is unreactive. This inert nature of nitrogen is due to the strong triple bond that exists in the nitrogen molecule. By the process of nitrogen fixation, nitrogen is supplied to the plants.
