The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Macronutrients (needed in large amounts) include N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S. Micronutrients are needed in trace amounts, such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Mo and Cl.

Step 2: Check the options
Option (A) has Mg and K, option (C) has K, S and Ca, and option (D) has S and Ca. These contain macronutrients.

Step 3: Option (B)
Zinc and copper are micronutrients and silicon is a trace element, so this is the only group where all three are trace elements.

Final Answer:
Zinc, copper and silicon form the group of trace elements. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\text{Zinc, Copper, Silicon}} \]
