In which of the following all three are macronutrients?
A
Boron, zinc, manganese
B
Nitrogen, Calcium, Magnesium
C
Molybdenum, magnesium, manganese
D
Nitrogen, nickel, phosphorus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Macro nutrients are nutrients which are present in plants in large amounts (in excess of 10 m mole kg−1 of dry matter). Plant macronutrients include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Macronutrients are the nutrients we need in larger quantities that provide us with energy: in other words, fat, protein and carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Copper, molybdenum, phosphorous Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-4: -Calcium is an essential macronutrient in plants, with concentrations in the shoot ranging from 0.1 to over 5% of dry wt (Marschner, 1995; White and Broadley, 2003). It thereby exhibits a dual function, both as a structural component of cell walls and membranes and as intracellular second messenger.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnesium (Mg) is one of three secondary macronutrients, along with calcium and sulfur, required for balanced crop nutrition. Often overlooked, Mg deficiencies can lead to reduced crop growth and yield.
