Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Denitrification is the procedure by which nitrate is diminished to nitrogen gas by soil microorganisms when oxygen is absent. This procedure is crucial to the reusing of nitrogen for soil wellbeing, microbial and plant development, and creature wellbeing. Denitrification can contrarily affect an unnatural weather change through misfortunes of nitrous oxide. Few types of Serratia, Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter are involved as denitrifiers.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
