Solution

The correct options are
B Ammonium nitrate
C Ammonia
D Urea
Nitrogen is very essential for the growth of plants. Atmospheric nitrogen cannot be directly used by the plants.
Hence ammonia and salts of ammonia like ammonium nitrate and urea are sprayed in the form of fertilisers to provide nitrogen.
