Solution

The correct option is C Potassium
Potassium is a macronutrient required by the plant in the form of potassium ions. It has an important role in opening and closing and closing of stomata and balance of ions. It also helps in maintaining turgidity of the cells. Its deficiency can cause chlorosis, necrosis and inhibition of cell division in plant cells.
So the correct answer is 'Potassium'.
