Answer: Option D
Solution:
SSP (Single superphosphate) and MAP (Mono ammonium phosphate) are fertilizers that contain water soluble phosphorus.SSP is the first commercial mineral fertilizer, and it led to the development of the modern plant nutrient industry but because of its low P content, it is being replaced now.
MAP is a widely used source of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). it contains about 10% nitrogen.
