Solution

The correct option is C all the oxygen will be consumed
4 moles of ammonia react with 5 moles of oxygen as per the balanced chemical equation. When 1 mole of ammonia is present, it will react with 1.25 moles of oxygen. However, only 1 mole of oxygen is present.

Hence, oxygen is the limiting reagent and is completely consumed during the reaction.
