Soil fertility refers to the following ability of the soil: its ease of tillage, fitness of seedbed and impedance to seedling emergence and root penetration by providing nutrients and suitable soil structure to support the plants'/trees' growth. Which of the following microorganisms can do that?

The correct option is A Mycorrhizae
A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association composed of the fungus and roots of a vascular plant. Mycorrhizal fungi contribute to carbon storage in soil by altering the quality and quantity of soil organic matter. A key factor which effects the potential for mycorrhizas to benefit plants in particular sites is the supply of phosphate and nitrogen in soil. Phosphorus is generally considered to be the most important plant-growth limiting factor which can be supplied by mycorrhizal associations, because of the many abiotic and biotic factors which can restrict its mobility in soil.
