To Find :

Which element accumulates in the environment due to the use of fertilizers.

Solution :

Most of the fertilizers used in daily practice are nitrogen fertilizers .

When soil became waterlogged, soil organisms take the oxygen they need from nitrates, leaving the nitrogen in a gaseous form which escapes into the air.

Also, nitrogen is very stable and did not participate in most of the reactions.

So, nitrogen is accumulates in the environment .

Therefore, option C. is correct.
