Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The nitrogen cycle can be defined as the process by which the nitrogen is being recycled. The nitrogen is transferred from the atmosphere to the plants and then from plants to animals, human beings.

Then from animals and human beings it is again transferred into the soil and then atmosphere.

The nitrogen that is found in the sol is not in the usable form by the plants, nitrogen fixing bacteria converts it into usable form.
