Solution

The correct options are
A
Azotobacter

C
Nitrobacter

A noteworthy and very important feature of Azotobacter and Nitrobacter are their ability to "fix" atmospheric nitrogen, by the conversion of this elemental form to ammonia. Plants are able to utilize ammonia as a nutrient which is very significant for the plant's growth and development.
