As in C. These elements are not required on special occasion but are necessary throughout plant life.

As in D.  C H N O  is the primary component plants need but these secondary nutrients are equally necessary for growth n structure of plant.

<u><em>So answer A. Is the correct option.</em></u>

Calcium plays the most important role in structure formation of plants. Also act as messenger molecule in signaling. Deficiency  of calcium caused wilting , weakened stem and ultimately death of plant.

Magnesium is the key element in chlorophyll molecule. It is necessary for chlorophyll formation.

Sulfur is another very important element in plant life, it is necessary for protein synthesis in plants.

Water can act as either a(n) _____ or a _____. acid, base solute, solvent anion, cation salt, mixture
IgorC [24]
Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a  compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.
