B Correct answer
Explanation

Mobile mineral elements in plants can be translocated from older to younger tissues when deficient. Molybdenum (Mo) is mobile, while Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), and Copper (Cu) are relatively immobile - once deposited in tissues, they cannot be easily moved to new growth.
