Solution

The correct option is A Aeroponics
Aeroponics is a method of growing plants with their roots suspended in the air in a chamber. Nutrient-rich water is sprayed on the roots of the plants. The microbes on the plant are in an oxygen-rich environment. This allows the microbes time to digest the nutrients and to make them immediately available for the plant’s use. Well-circulating CO $_{2}$ in the room also enhances growth.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
