Solution

The correct option is A N2NH3
Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is converted into ammonia. After nitrogen has been fixed, other bacteria convert it into nitrate, in a process known as nitrification. In the first step of this process, Nitrosomonas convert ammonia into nitrite, and in the second step, nitrite is converted into nitrate, by Nitrobacter. This nitrate is then consumed by plants.
So, the correct option is 'N2 ---> NH3'
