Solution

The correct option is B high pressure
The formation of ammonia by Haber's process is. favored by high pressure.
N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)
Δn=2(1+3)=24=2
Since the reaction occurs with decrease in the number of moles of gaseous species, high pressure will shift the equilibrium towards right so as to nullify the effect of increased pressure. This is as per Le chatelier's principle.
Thus more ammonia will b formed.
