Correct answer: A
Explanation
Nitrogen is primarily obtained by plants and animals from inorganic sources like minerals. Fats do not constitute the primary source of nitrogen for biological needs. Carbohydrates are mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, not directly providing nitrogen. Proteins contain nitrogen, but they are complex molecules built *from* nitrogen sources, not the form in which it is 'occurs' initially.
