Solution

The correct option is A Azospirillum
Biofertilizers contains living or latent cells of certain strains of organisms that help plants to uptake the nutrients from rhizosphere when applied through seed or soil. Some biofertilizers like Rhizobium, Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria provide nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients to plants by the process of nitrogen fixation and phosphorous solubilization. These biofertilizers could be effectively utilized for various horticulture crops.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
