Answer 1

The correct option is B Fertilizer industry

Fertilizer Industry

Fertilizers are substances that supply one or more of the chemicals required for plant growth. Fertilizers can be both organic and inorganic. As per industry experts it is said that there are sixteen elements that are absolutely necessary for plant growth. Out of these sixteen 9 elements are required in large quantities while the other seven are needed in smaller amounts.

Since agriculture is a very important sector it goes without saying that the fertilizer industry is one which the Indian economy cannot do without. The fertilizer industry in India is extremely vital as it manufactures some of the most important raw materials required for crop production. The primary objective of this industry is to ensure the inflow of both primary and secondary elements required for crop production in the desirable quantities.
