Correct Answer: Option D
D. the release of phosphorus into the phloem of a plant growing in a phosphorus-deficient soil
Explanation
Homeostasis is a living organism’s way of maintaining a stable internal environment even in the event of external environmental changes. When the plant keeps supplying phosphorus to the phloem even in the case of a deficiency in the soil, it maintains a steady balance on its inside irrespective of the lack in the soil.
