The most abundant organic compound entering soil from plant residues is

  • A.Lignin
  • B.Starch
  • C.Cellulose
  • D.Chitin

Answer: C

Cellulose makes up the bulk of plant cell walls and therefore the bulk of residue carbon. Lignin is present in smaller quantity but decomposes far more slowly, chitin comes mainly from fungi and arthropods, and starch is a storage compound rather than a structural one.
