Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Passive absorption of minerals takes place through the Ionic exchange.
Ion exchange is a reversible process, and the ion exchanger can be regenerated or loaded with desirable ions by washing with an excess of these ions.
In plants and animals, mineral absorption, also called mineral uptake is how minerals enter the cellular material, typically following the same pathway as water.
