Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer that has a risk of fire or even explosion. It exploded abroad on a ship docked near Texas City, Texas in 1947.
It can explode on its own if its temperature is raised to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, as it belongs to a chemical class known as oxidizers.
