The answer is: C. 3 : 2.

Balanced chemical reaction: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃.

From chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(NH₃) = 3 : 2.

Coefficients with the lowest ratio indicate the relative amounts of substances in a reaction.

Coefficient in fron of hydrogen is 3 and coefficient in fron ammonia is 2.

Coefficients are important to prove the law of conservation of mass.
