Solution
The correct option is D Iron
Magnesium is the mineral which is part of chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium is the central element of porphyrin head of chlorophyll molecule. However, chlorophyll biosynthesis also depends on iron and light. In the absence of iron or light, chlorophyll will not be synthesized even when magnesium is normally available and plants will be pale in colour and show symptoms of etiolation.
