Question:

Natural reservoir of phosphorus is: Sea water, Animal bones, Sedimentary rocks, Fossils

Sea water

Fossils

Animal bones

Sedimentary rocks

Solution:

Phosphorous is present in the form of phosphates in rocks. As the rocks get weathered due to various environmental factors, some amount of these phosphates get dissolved in the soil and are absorbed by the plants. Hence, the natural reservoir of phosphorous is sedimentary rocks. So, the correct answer is option D.
