B.
plants
Phosphorus is a major constituent of biological membranes, nucleic acids and cellular energy transfer systems. Many animals require this element to make shells, bones and teeth. The natural reservoir of phosphorus is rock. It is present in the form of phosphate. When rocks are weathered, minute amounts of these phosphates dissolve in soil solution and are absorbed by the roots of the plants. Herbivores and other animals obtain this element from plants.
