Solution
The correct options are
C Nitrogen
D Potassium
The primary nutrients required by plants are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K). These elements are used in relatively large amounts by plants, therefore are often supplemented as fertilizers. In relatively large amounts, the soil supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur; these are often called the macronutrients. In relatively small amounts, the soil supplies iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum, copper, zinc, chlorine, and cobalt, the so-called micro nutrients
