The correct option is B

Mineral nutrition


Plants synthesize their own food by using CO2, water, minerals, and sunlight. Minerals are absorbed and utilized by the plants as inorganic raw materials for the synthesis of macromolecules like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Thus, the uptake and utilization of inorganic nutrients by the plants is termed as Mineral Nutrition.
