Solution

The correct option is B Zinc
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plants. It is required for activity of carbonic anhydrase, auxin biosynthesis and activator of certain carboxylases and dehydrogenases. Its deficiency leads to little leaf disease, leaf rosette formation, short internodes, interveinal chlorosis appearing first marginally on older leaves, followed by necrosis, white bud and stunted growth.
