In nitrogen fixation

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
In nitrogen fixation plants convert atmospheric nitrogen to nitrates.
Nitrogen fixation is any natural or industrial process that causes free nitrogen (N2), which is a relatively inert gas plentiful in air, to combine chemically with other elements to form more-reactive nitrogen compounds such as ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites.
Nitrogen-fixing plants are those whose roots are colonized by certain bacteria that extract nitrogen from the air and convert or “fix” it into a form required for their growth.
