Solution

The correct option is C Active transport
Minerals are absorbed by plants through active transport as minerals are present in the soil mostly in the form of charged particles which fail to move across cell membrane and concentration of minerals in the cell is usually greater than that present in the soil solution. Therefore, most of the minerals are absorbed by active mechanism involving expenditure of energy in the form of ATP.
Hence, C is the correct answer.
