Answer»

Correct option is (B) ROCK minerals → Soil → Producers → Consumers → DECOMPOSERS

Easiest explanation: The phosphorous CYCLE starts with rock materials and ends with the decomposers. The phosphorous enters the ecosystem through rock minerals and, there is a negligible exchange of gaseous PHOSPHORUS between organism and environment.
