Solution

The correct option is C Phosphorus
There are 4 layers of Earth, namely lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living), and atmosphere (air). Lithosphere of Earth includes the crust and the uppermost mantle. It makes up the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. It is reservoir of phosphorus. The largest reservoir of phosphorus is sediments or sedimentary rocks. Hence, phosphorous represents sedimentary type of nutrient cycle.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Phosphorous.'
