Answer:

A) Calcitonin injection

Explanation:

Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.

Δ The roots of the legumes undergoes symbiotic association for the intake of nitrogen. They form nitrates. So these plants help in transferring solid nitrate to water nitrate

Δ Animal wastes has nitrates. So these nitrates along with rain water can go to rivers

Δ The lightening strikes contain nitrogen which is converted by plants during nitrogen cycle into nitrates which then eventually goes into water
