Solution

The correct option is C $(N H_{4})_{2} S O_{4}$
Kjeldahl’s Method :

The compound containing nitrogen is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid and copper sulphate. Nitrogen in the compound gets converted into ammonium sulphate.
The reaction is :
$Organic compound + H_{2} S O_{4} \to (N H_{4})_{2} S O_{4}$
