Solution

The correct option is C Decaying animal dung
Animals living in the forest include herbivores and carnivores. The dung of these animals are decomposed by insects living in the soil. This contributes to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen, that is trapped by bacteria in the soil. This provides nutrients to the seedlings to grow in forests. Thus the correct answer is option C.
