Correct Answer: present in the soil


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Present is the appropriate tense form of the word, which should be used with the preposition in. It means to be in a particular place, and it helps convey that water and minerals that are present in the particular soil are absorbed by the roots.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Water and minerals present in the soil are absorbed by the roots."
