Solution

The correct option is D Cu, Mn, Fe
Micronutrients are minerals obtained from the soil and present in plant tissues at concentrations usually less than
3μmolg−1 dry matter. Cu (copper), Mn (manganese) and Fe (Iron) are those micronutrients which affect both photosynthesis and mitochondrial electron transport because they are the main constituents of various electron carriers.
