Answer 2

When young plant is dug up and re-planted in another place it's roots cannot take up mineral salt (option B)

• When a plant is dug up, there is a certain damage to its organs.
• A plants roots are strongly rooted in the soil so when the plant is dug up some roots may break away from the plants body.
• Roots have root hair cells which help in absorption of minerals and salt from the soil.
• Lesser roots remaining leads to the plant having less root hair cells to absorb salts.
• Hence, plants are unable to take up mineral salts at the same rate after they are dug up and re-planted.
