Answer:

C. Nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical reactions are composed basically of reagents (usually two or more) and products (which may be one or more).

Reaction example:

A + B ⇒ AB

where A and B are reagents and AB represents a product.

In the reaction of the question we have ammonia as the end product, resulting from the reaction between nitrogen gas and oxygen gas.

Example of ammonia formation reaction:

N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇔ 2NH₃ (g)

where (g) represents the physical state of atoms (gas) and the reverse arrows (⇔) represent a reversible reaction within the chemical equilibrium.
