A Correct answer
Explanation

Carbon is the most abundant element in plants by mass (about 45-50% of dry weight), as plants are primarily composed of carbon-based compounds like cellulose, lignin, and sugars. Nitrogen is important but less abundant (1-5%), while iron and manganese are micronutrients.
