Correct answer: B. Nitrogen
- A. Potash
- B. Nitrogen
- C. Calcium
- D. Both a & c
Explanation
Nitrogen is mobile in the plant, so deficiency symptoms appear first in older lower leaves as yellowing, followed by stunted growth and premature leaf or fruit shedding. Potassium deficiency can also cause yellowing and drying, but the full symptom pattern chiefly indicates nitrogen deficiency.
