D) Iron

Interveinal chlorosis refers to the condition where the tissue between the veins of a leaf turns yellow while the veins themselves remain green. This type of chlorosis is often associated with iron deficiency in plants. Iron is an essential micronutrient for plants, and its deficiency can lead to impaired chlorophyll production, resulting in the characteristic yellowing of the leaf tissue between the veins.
