Identify the correct statements: \(A.\) Detrivores perform fragmentation. \(B.\) The humus is further degraded by some microbes during mineralization. \(C\). Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil and get precipitated by a process called leaching. \(D\). The detritus food chain begins with living organisms. \(E\). Earthworms break down detritus into smaller particles by a process called catabolism. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
