Given below are two statements:
Statement A: Deficiency symptoms of calcium on plants are first noticed at all leaves
Statement B: The soil is well flocculated, if it has more of calcium
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Statement A is correct and statement B is incorrect
• B. Statement A is incorrect and Statement B is correct
• C. Both statements A and statement B are correct
• D. Both statements A and statement B are incorrect

Remember:
$\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and $\text{Mg}^{2+}$ promote soil flocculation (good structure).
$\text{Na}^{+}$ promotes soil dispersion (poor structure).
Calcium is immobile in plants $\rightarrow$ symptoms restricted to terminal buds.
