Solution
The correct option is A Nitrogen
78 percent of atmosphere is nitrogen but the nitrogen in atmosphere is an inert gas and plants cannot use it. Plants absorb nitrogen in the form of nitrates, nitrites and ammonium ion form directly from soil. In case soil is deficient in nitrogen, some plants capture insects to supplement their nitrogen requirement. This is the case in insectivorous plants which grow in nitrogen deficient soils.
