Answer the following questions by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.


Identify the set of micronutrients (nutrients required by plants in small quantities):

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c) Zinc, Iron, Manganese
Micronutrients: These are chemical elements required by plants in very small quantities compared to macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They play essential roles in various plant functions but are needed in much smaller amounts.
Options Analysis:
(a) Copper, Phosphorous, Calcium: While copper is a micronutrient, phosphorus and calcium are macronutrients that plants need in larger quantities.
(b) Sulphur, Aluminium, Chlorine: Sulphur is a micronutrient, but aluminium is not generally considered an essential plant nutrient. Chlorine can be beneficial for some plants but is not universally required.
(c) Zinc, Iron, Manganese: All three of these elements are micronutrients essential for plant growth and development.
(d) Potassium, Magnesium, Copper: Potassium and magnesium are macronutrients, while copper is a micronutrient.
