The following choices are provided;
- Earthquakes release phosphorus.
- Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
- Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
- Phosphorus is transpired.
The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus
Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor.

Answer:
Option A, C and D
Explanation:
Mutations can be beneficial and call also not be beneficial. Examples of beneficial mutation includes laptop tolerance, HIV resistance etc. This mutations occur as changes in the nucleic acid sequences (DNA; which is made up of the four nitrogenous bases, deoxy/ribose sugar and phosphate group. Changes in these bases can bring about mutations that are beneficial) of organism and also it depends on where in the genetic code they occur. Beneficiary mutations can bring about increased fitness of the organisms involved.
