Answer:

Magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, sulfur these are essential nutrients for plants. These are required in trace quantity but are very important for plant life. Point A. will be correct answer.

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.

Phosphorous plays an important role in  process of cell devision , photosynthesis and respiration.

Potassium is very crucial in gaseous exchange ,it operates the opening and closing of stomata.
