Solution

The correct option is A Magnesium
Respiration is the process of breakdown of C-C bonds of complex compounds via oxidation resulting in release of energy. All living organisms including plants carry out respiration.

Magnesium is an important mineral element in plant respiration. Plants absorb magnesium as divalent cation. It activates enzymes of respiration like pyruvate dehydrogenase.

Zinc and Nickel have no role in plant respiration.
