Solution
The correct option is A Urea and Monopotassium phosphate
Urea and Monopotassium phosphate are chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers play a very important role in crop production. But, when used in excess these fertilizers add several salts to the soil. This alters soil characteristics and causes land pollution. These fertilizers destroy the soil fauna. They also affect aquatic organisms. As it rains it flows through the fields and gets mixed with the chemicals. Hence resulting in the death of aquatic beings.
