Solution

The correct option is C Seventeen
Sixteen plant food nutrients are essential for proper crop development. Each is equally important to the plant, yet each is required in vastly different amounts. These differences have led to the grouping of these essential elements into three categories; primary (macro) nutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. The primary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) the three secondary macronutrients, calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg), the micronutrients/trace minerals: boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni).
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
