Answer:

C. Plants must be able to increase their mass using substances in addition to what is found in soil  

Explanation:

The plant increased its mass by 74.4 kg, and the mass of the soil decreased only by 54 g (less than 0.1 % the mass of the plant).

The plant must have gotten its mass from someplace other than the soil.

A is wrong. The plant gets its mass from someplace else.

B is wrong. Plants don't need soil as such, but they need the water that is in the soil.

D is wrong. The water contains no food. It is just water.

E is wrong. The experiment demonstrated nothing about oxygen.
