Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Nutrient uptake is the amount of each nutrient required for the crop to complete its life cycle at a given yield level. The rate of nutrient uptake is independent of the rate of water uptake, but the concentrations of nutrients at root surfaces depend strongly on soil water content.
Nutrient uptake by crops is fastest during Active growth.
