Solution

The correct option is A Phosphorus
Nitrogen fixation is a process of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into its compounds. The process of nitrogen fixation requires a reducing power, energy source (ATP), dinitrogenase enzyme, and compound for trapping NH3. Phosphorous increased the nitrogen-fixing capacity of legumes plants, stimulates the root production, helps in the transformation of sugar, energy transfer, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is option A, i.e., Phosphorus.
