Solution

The correct option is A 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) Pt(s)−−
The catalytic process in which the reactants and the catalyst are in different phases is known as heterogeneous catalysis.

So here the given reaction,

In presence of Pt(s), 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+H2O(g)

Here, Pt(s) is in the solid-state whereas the reactants are in the gaseous state.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
