Macronutrients: These are the essential elements that need in large quantities for plant
growth and development. These elements are also known as significant elements.
Micronutrients: These are the vital elements that need in small amounts for plant growth
and development. These elements are also known as minor elements or trace elements.

The macronutrients are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium,

magnesium, phosphorus, and sulfur. The micronutrients are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and sulfur.

The size of macronutrient is big with higher molecular weight, and the micronutrient is
small with low molecular weight. The atoms size varies in different atoms of different
molecules.

Hence, option (a) is an incorrect answer.

Both unicellular and multicellular organism uses macro and micronutrients according to
their requirements.

Hence, option (c) is an incorrect answer.

The nutrient source does not influence the differential requirements of macro and
micronutrients.

Hence, option (d) is an incorrect answer.

The amounts required by the plant vary among different species and different regard to
macronutrients and micronutrients.

Therefore, Option (b) is the correct answer.
