Nitrification means-
A
Photo-electricity reaction starts
B
Liquifaction of nitrogen
C
Production of nitrogen from air
D
convert the atmospheric nitrogen to effective nitrogen compound
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrificaton: Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3–). It is usually performed by soil living bacteria, such as nitrobacter. This is important because plants can assimilate nitrate into their tissues, and they rely on bacteria to convert it from ammonia to a usable form.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil and within the root nodules of some plants convert nitrogen gas in the atmosphere to ammonia. Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrites or nitrates. Ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are all fixed nitrogen and can be absorbed by plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the oxidation of the nitrite to nitrate. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting step ofnitrification. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.
