Final answer:

The stoichiometric coefficient for hydrogen in the balanced equation is 3. Hence the correct answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The stoichiometric coefficient for hydrogen in the balanced equation is 3. This means that for every 3 moles of hydrogen, 2 moles of ammonia are produced.

Hence the correct answer is option C
