Solution

The correct option is B

Nitrogen


Non metal act as an oxidizing agent. An oxidising agent is a chemical species that can remove electron
from another species. Non metal has the tendency to gain electrons, hence it attracts electrons from other substance to

form a bond. Nitrogen is a non metal which attracts electrons from some metals to form a stable state.
