    It can't be A as ammonification results in the production of ammonia/ium and that is the first step. It's not denitrification as that would result in a removal of a nitrate and as you can see this is the addition of nitrates. I'd say it's nitrification. If you kook that up on wikepedia you'll get the answer.
