Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Ammonium nitrate contains 33 - 35% N.
Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NH4NO3. It is a white crystalline salt consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, although it does not form hydrates.
Ammonium nitrate is an important fertilizer with an NPK rating of 34-0-0 (34% nitrogen). Ammonium nitrate's advantage over urea is that it is more stable and does not rapidly lose nitrogen to the atmosphere.
