Solution

The correct option is A nitogen gas and water
The combustion of ammonia proceeds to yield nitogen gas and water. With the use of catalyst and under correct conditions of temperature, ammonia reacts with oxygen to produce nitric oxide which is oxidized to nitrogen dioxide and is used in the synthesis of nitric acid.
