Option (B).

Explanation:

Plants are known as autotrophic organism as they can prepare their own food. The plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide and water for the photosynthesis.

Plants uses sunlight that contains the solar energy. This solar energy is converted into the chemical energy from the breakdown of water molecule and formation of carbohydrates. Hence, the solar energy of sun is converted into chemical energy.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
