i- Nitrogen
ii- Potassium
iii- Magnesium
iv- Calcium

Easy

A

i and ii only
B

ii and iii only

i, ii and iii only
D

i, ii, iii and iv

Solution

The parts of the plants that show the deficiency symptoms also depend on the mobility of the element in the plant. For elements that are actively mobilised within the plants and exported to young developing tissues, the deficiency symptoms tend to appear first in the older tissues. For example, the deficiency symptoms of nitrogen, potassium and magnesium are visible first in the senescent leaves.
