Solution
The correct option is D Nitrogen fixation
Atmospheric nitrogen cannot be used by plants and animals directly. Therefore, it gets converted into more usable forms like nitrites and nitrates. This process is called as nitrogen fixation. Most of the nitrogen fixation is carried out by the bacteria which are called as 'nitrogen-fixing bacteria'. Few examples are: Azotobacter, Rhizobium bacteria etc.
