bacteria which convert ammonium salts into nitrite are called nitrifying bacteria.
Nitrifying bacteria are chemolithotrophic organisms that include species of the genera Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrobacter and Nitrococcus. These bacteria get their energy by the oxidation of inorganic nitrogen compounds.
So the answer is option A
