The correct answer is:
II and IV
Calcium is required during the formation of the cell wall as calcium pectinate in the middle lamella. It is also required by dividing cells as it helps in the formation of spindle fibres. It is an immobile element and is accumulated in older leaves. Zinc is required for the synthesis of auxins.
