The correct Answer is:
A
The sulphur is needed by young leaves, stem and root tips. If it is not available, these parts would show the deficiency symptoms wich include
(i) reduced growth
(ii) extensive root growth
(iii) hard and woody stem
(iv) chlorosis of young leaves.
The immobile elements are transported in plant upto the tip level, so their deficiency appear first at the tips of growing apices of roots and shoot.
