Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Denitrification is the process that is also known as "Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction." Which refers to the conversion of nitrate by using it as an electron acceptor.Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process where nitrate is reduced and ultimately produces molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products. Complete denitrification serves as an efficient N-removal pathway in the environment.
