Which constraint limits nitrogen delivery to plant roots under waterlogged soil conditions?

A)Inhibition of nitrogenase enzyme activity
B)Increased rate of nitrification by bacteria
C)Enhanced efficiency vascular transport
D)Reduced mycorrhizal symbiosis carbon transfer

💡 Explanation

Waterlogged soil leads to anaerobic conditions, hindering nitrogen fixation because the nitrogenase enzyme is highly sensitive to oxygen; therefore, nitrogenase enzyme activity is inhibited, which limits nitrogen availability, rather than enhancing nitrification processes.
