The answer is; A

Denitrification is carried out by denitrifying bacteria such as <em>Paracoccus denitrificans</em> and <em>Thiobacillus denitrificans</em>. These bacteria hydrolyze nitrates and nitrites into molecule nitrogen and are significant in the Nitrogen Cycle. The complete process of denitrification can be shown in a single redox equation below;

2 NO3− + 10 e− + 12 H+ → N2 + 6 H2O
