Answer:
C. Photosynthesis
Explanation:
Nitrogen is an important elemental component needed for plant's growth and development. However, plants obtain this Nitrogen in various ways including chemical fertilizers, symbiotic bacteria and lightning.
Plants, via their roots, may absorb nitrogen in the usable form, from applied fertilizers. They can also derive nitrogen compounds (nitrates) by forming symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil. Lightning is also a source of atmospheric nitrogen, which is converted to a usable form by nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
However, plants perform PHOTOSYNTHESIS to produce sugars (glucose) and not nitrogen.
