Dear student,
 
A. Ammonification – The formation of ammonia from the dead bodies of plants and animals by means of decay or decomposition is called Ammonification. Employing this process, nitrogen content in the soil increases.
B. Biological nitrogen fixation – Conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds utilizing microorganisms is called Biological nitrogen fixation. With the help of this process, nitrogen content in the soil increases.
C.Denitrification – Conversion of nitrates or nitrites into atmospheric or gaseous nitrogen is called Denitrification. Employing this process, nitrogen content in the soil decreases.
D. Nitrification – formation of nitrates from ammonia is called Nitrification. Through this process, nitrogen content in the soil increases.
So, the correct option is ‘Denitrification’.
