Solution

The correct option is D

All of these


The correct option is D.

Explanation of Correct option:

  1. Protein which is present in dead remains of plants and animals is converted into nitrates and released into the soil, for use by plants.
  2. This conversion is done with the help of decomposing bacteria and fungi.
  3. Earthworms are called ‘farmer’s friends' because they ingest soil with food particles and pass out undigested matter in the soil. By doing this, they are adding nutrients in the soil.

Final answer:

Bacteria, fungi and earthworms help in the replenishment of nutrients in the soil.
