Solution
The correct option is D Micronutrients A nutrient which is required in small quantities is called as a micronutrient. The micronutrients are boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. These plant food elements are used in very small amounts, but they are just as important to plant development and profitable crop production as the major nutrients. Especially, they work "behind the scene" as activators of many plant functions.
