Answer:
Nitrifying Bacteria are a group of aerobic bacteria important in the nitrogen cycle as converters of soil ammonia to nitrates, compounds usable by plants. An example is nitrosomonas or nitrobacter and species in that family.
The schematic diagram is attached below, which summarises the oxidation of ammonia or free nitrogen in the soil to nitrates for the cowpea plant's utilisation.

Answer:
B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.
Explanation:
Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.
Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.
Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.
If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.
