(2) nodule differentiation

(3) expression of nif gene

(4) inhibition of nitrogenase activity

Reaction of N₂ fixation process is depicted below

$$\begin{gathered} N_2+\left[A\right]+\left[B\right]+16 ATP\to \\ 2N{H}_3+\left[C\right]+16ADP+16 Pi \end{gathered}$$

Select the correct set of A,B and C

1. A = $8{\mathrm{e}}^{-}$, B=$8{\mathrm{H}}^{+}$; C = ${\mathrm{H}}_2$

2.  A = ${\mathrm{H}}_2$, B=$8{\mathrm{e}}^{-}$; C = $8{\mathrm{H}}^{+}$

3. A = $8{\mathrm{e}}^{-}$, B=${\mathrm{H}}_2$; C = $8{\mathrm{H}}^{+}$

4. A = $8{\mathrm{H}}^{+}$, B=${\mathrm{H}}_2$; C = $8{\mathrm{e}}^{-}$
