Detailed Solution

The Ostwald process is used for the manufacturing of nitric acid. During this process, platinum is used as a catalyst to convert ammonia into nitric oxide which is further converted into nitric acid.

The reaction is as follows:

4NH3+5O2 (in presence of Pt) 4NO+6H2O

Hence, option (A) is correct.
