Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.
Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrite followed by the nitrite to nitrate occurring through separate organisms or direct ammonia oxidation to nitrate.
The step nitrification moves pH Lower. pH (near to neutral) controls nitrification rates.
