Solution

The correct option is C Liebig
The law of minimum was proposed by Liebig. This law states that the rate of growth of a plant, that is the size to which it grows and its overall health depends on the amount of the essential nutrients that is available to it. This concept was originally applied to plant or crop growth, where it was found that increasing a number of plentiful nutrients did not increase plant growth. Only by increasing the amount of the limiting nutrients improved the growth of a plant or crop.
So, the correct answer is option B.
