Solution

The correct option is D

All of these


Growing regions of the plant such as the apical and lateral meristems, young leaves, developing flowers, fruits, seeds, and other storage organs are sinks for the storage of different minerals inside plants. Minerals from old and senescent leaves and other aging parts of the plant are mobilized to these regions, where they are utilized for growth and development.
