Solution

The correct option is A To generate energy metabolites
Phosphorus is an important constituent of energy rich nucleotides like Adenosine mono-, di- and tri-phosphates (AMP, ADP, ATP) etc. Thus phosphorous is indispensable for reactions involving energy transfer in living systems. The major role of phosphorus in plant metabolism is to generate energy metabolites like ATP.
