Solution

The correct option is B

Fertilizers


Globally, approximately 88% of ammonia is used as fertilizers. It is present in soil, water and air, and it is an important source of nitrogen for plants. Nitrogen promotes plant growth and improves fruit and seed production, resulting in a greater yield. Although ammonium ions are effective as fertilizer, the aqueous ammonia is toxic and can damage or kill seedlings.
