A) Rhizobium produces NH₄, so you don't need nitrogen-containing fertilizer.
B) Rhizobium cannot produce NH₄, so you need to add nitrogen-containing fertilizer.
C) Rhizobium produces PO₄ and NH₄, so you don't need any fertilizer.
D) Rhizobium produces PO₄, so you don't need phosphorus-containing fertilizer.
