C) CAN (Calcium ammonium nitrate) is the correct answer - as the name indicates.
CAN is also known as nitro-limestone or nitrochalk.
It is the most commonly used inorganic nitrogenous fertilizer world-wide.
Some of the advantages of this fertilizer over other nitrogenous ones are
- A rich nitrogen source (about 21 – 27%)
- Can be used in almost all types of soils.
- Unlike other nitrogenous fertilizers, this can be added to acidic soils as it doesn’t increase soil’s acidity.
For your information, the other two fertilizers have the following chemicals.
Super phosphate – Rich in phosphorus
Calcium magnesium phosphate – Contains calcium, magnesium and phosphorus
