A.
Urea
B.
Diammonium phosphate
C.
Anhydrous ammonia
Answer
D.
Single Super Phosphate

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The most concentrated fertilizer used for nutrient supply is anhydrous ammonia.
Ammonia (NH3) in anhydrous form, that is without water, is an efficient and widely used source of nitrogen fertilizer. It has the highest content of nitrogen at 82%. Under atmospheric temperature and pressure, it is a colourless gas with a sharp and penetrating odor. It is easily accessible to farmers and simple to implement. However, it can be dangerous if not handled properly.
