Ans : (d) Anaerobic ammonium oxidation and denitrification 

Explanation:

Denitrification is a chemical process in which nitrates in the soil are reduced to molecular nitrogen (N.) which is released into the atmosphere. It is done by denitrifying bacteria like Pseudomonas denitrificans. Anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (NH4) also releases nitrogen in the atmosphere.
