Solution

The correct option is C rhizobial innoculation
Rather than using fertilisers to supply nitrogen, nitrogen fixing bacteria like Rhizobium can be coated on the seeds of non-leguminous plants. This bacteria enters the plantlets and help in nitrogen fixation, reducing our dependency on chemical fertilisers.
