A.

H₂PO₄⁻ only

B.

HPO₄²⁻ only

C.

PO₄³⁻ only

D.

Both H₂PO₄⁻ and HPO₄²⁻

Correct option is D


Plants absorb phosphorus mainly as dihydrogen phosphate (H₂PO₄⁻) and hydrogen phosphate (HPO₄²⁻) ions, depending on soil pH.
• At acidic pH: H₂PO₄⁻ dominates
• At alkaline pH: HPO₄²⁻ is more available
Therefore, both forms are important sources of phosphorus.
