Solution

The correct option is B Conversion of nitrogen into ammonia
The role of nitrogen-fixing bacteria is to supply plants with the vital nutrient nitrogen that they cannot obtain from the air by themselves. Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms take it from the air as a gas and release it to the soil, primarily as ammonia.
