The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Select incorrect statement," we will analyze each statement provided and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - **Statement:** "Sulphur deficiency causes the chlorosis of younger leaves, stunt growth and anthocyanin accumulation." - **Analysis:** Sulphur is indeed essential for plants, and its deficiency leads to chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), stunted growth, and anthocyanin accumulation (which can cause red coloration in leaves). - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - **Statement:** "Magnesium deficiency may cause premature leaf abscission." - **Analysis:** Magnesium is a crucial component of chlorophyll. A deficiency can lead to reduced chlorophyll production, which may result in premature leaf drop (abscission). - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - **Statement:** "Chlorosis of leaf is a typical symptom of iron deficiency." - **Analysis:** Iron deficiency is well-known to cause chlorosis, especially in younger leaves, due to its role in chlorophyll synthesis. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement:** - **Statement:** "The symptoms of the molybdenum deficiency include the rosette-like appearance and chiral disease of rice." - **Analysis:** The rosette-like appearance and chiral disease (or "chara disease") are actually associated with zinc deficiency, not molybdenum deficiency. Molybdenum deficiency can cause other symptoms, but not these specific ones. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is the fourth one: "The symptoms of the molybdenum deficiency include the rosette-like appearance and chiral disease of rice." ---
