Solution

The correct option is D Super phosphate of lime
Calcium cyanamide ( $C a C N_{2}$ ) is nitrogenous fertilizer.
CAN is calcium ammonium nitrate and urea $N H_{2} - C O - N H_{2}$ is also nitrogenous fertilizer.
Superphosphate of lime, $C a (H_{2} P O_{4})_{2}$ is fertilizer of phosphorous.So it's not the fertilizer of nitrogen.
Hence option C is correct.
