Solution
The correct option is D Soil Soil, as we know an important abiotic component of our environment. It provides nutrition and water to grow crops. They hold the roots of the trees and are extremely necessary for the proper growth of plants and trees. In the absence of proper nutrients in the soil, the plants and trees show nutritional deficiencies and retarded growth.
Apart from this, animals depend on plants for their survival and so they are dependant on soil for providing habitat and proper development of plants that they consume.
Coal, petroleum and natural gas are important fossil fuels that also from non-renewable resources that are used for various reasons like running automobiles, house gas cylinders etc.
They are remnants of dead plants and animals over a long period of time. So, they are not related to the growth of plants and animals.
