A
roots
B
water
C
humus
D
all of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nutrients are replenished by certain different microorganism that are found in the soil or also by the death of certain plants such as the rhizobium plant. The decaying plants tend to slowly break down into the basic soil nutrients over a period of time.

Detailed explanation-2: -The leguminous plants have nodes in their roots where the nitrogen-fixing microbes reside. These microbes help by fixing the nitrogen in the soil. Hence increasing the nitrogen level of soils. So the farmers plant the leguminous plants to maintain the nitrogen level of the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant and animal wastes decompose, adding nitrogen to the soil. Bacteria in the soil convert those forms of nitrogen into forms plants can use. Plants use the nitrogen in the soil to grow. People and animals eat the plants; then animal and plant residues return nitrogen to the soil again, completing the cycle.
