Solution

The correct option is A Azolla and BGA
'Biofertilizer' is a substance which contains living microorganism which, when applied to seed, plant surfaces, or soil, colonizes the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant.
OF the given options, Azolla and Blue Green Algae are used as biofertilizers.
Nitrogen is one of the essential elements needed by plants for their growth and Azolla's high nitrogen content makes it an ideal biofertilizer.
Blue Green Algae is photo-autotrophic prokaryotic bacteria that fix nitrogen in moist soil. Hence they are recommended to be used as biofertilizer.
