A

Nitrogen (N2)

B

Hydrogen (H2)

C

Ammonia (NH3)

D

None of the above

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In the situation described, dihydrogen (H2) is the limiting reagent because it is present in a smaller amount compared to the amount required for the reaction with nitrogen (N2). This is determined from the molar ratios required for the production of ammonia (NH3).
