Solution
The correct option is D Fix nitrogen
The atmospheric nitrogen is not available to plants. There are some nitrogen fixing bacteria which converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia which is readily available to plants. Some blue green algae like Anabaena and Nostoc have the ability to fix the atmospheric nitrogen. They are free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria. Hence, they are used as biofertilizers in the field of rice. Thus, the correct answer is 'Fix nitrogen.'
