Solution

The correct option is B denitrification, Pseudomonas
Nitrates can be assimilated by plants, or they can be converted and released back into the atmosphere. This process is called denitrification and reduces nitrates ( $N O_{3}$ ) in the soil to nitrogen gas ( $N_{2}$ ). This is done by bacteria Pseudomonas.
