A.
38
B.
42
C.
46
Answer
D.
50

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The nitrogen content (%) of urea fertilizer is 46.
Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound with chemical formula CO(NH2)2. This amide has two amino groups (-NH2) joined by a carbonyl functional group (–C(=O)–). It is thus the simplest amide of carbamic acid.
The agricultural industry widely uses urea, a white crystalline solid containing 46%, as an animal feed additive and fertilizer.
