Which of the following locations acts as the reservoir for nitrogen cycle? (A) Atmosphere (B) Sedimentary bedrock (C) Soil (D) Fossilised plant and animal remains

The reservoir is the main storehouse of the nutrient on the earth from which the nutrient is transferred to the cycling pool. That is the place from which cycling of nutrients occurs. For nitrogen, reservoir and cycling pools both are the atmosphere, hence it is a gaseous cycle.
