Solution

The correct option is C Mineral salts absorbed by plants
Plant ash is the residue left behind, when plants are heated to high temperature. Fresh weight of plant includes weight of water and protoplasm. Dry weight is the mass of protoplasm alone, when water has escaped as vapours. Further heating gives us plant ash, which is an indication of minerals absorbed by plants.
