A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A True. Micronutrients: Micro-nutrients are those nutrients that are needed in very small amounts.

Detailed explanation-2: -You need large amounts of macronutrients-proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. And while you only need a small number of micronutrients-vitamins and minerals-failing to get even those small quantities virtually guarantees disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Macronutrients are the nutrients we need in larger quantities that provide us with energy: in other words, fat, protein and carbohydrate. Micronutrients are mostly vitamins and minerals, and are equally important but consumed in very small amounts.

Detailed explanation-4: -Micronutrients, often referred to as vitamins and minerals, are vital to healthy development, disease prevention, and wellbeing. With the exception of vitamin D, micronutrients are not produced in the body and must be derived from the diet1.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most of the micronutrients are immobile in plants except chlorine and nickel. Macronutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and sulfur are mobile in plants. Therefore, micronutrients are immobile and required in tiny amounts from the soil.
