Best answer
Right answer is (a) Ammonia

For explanation I would say: Amino nitrogen and heterocyclic nitrogen can be degraded by biological method by first converting it into ammonia by aerobic and anaerobic processes thereby making the removal easier, conversion into nitrate has to be again converted into ammonia, and amino nitrogen doesn’t have a sulphate group and it is definitely not converted into carbon dioxide.
