ANS:B - grannules

Commercial fertilizers are commonly available in the form of granules. Granular fertilizers offer several advantages over other forms such as powders, lumps, or flakes. They are easier to handle, transport, and spread evenly over the soil. Granules also have reduced dustiness compared to powders, which makes them more convenient to use. Additionally, granular fertilizers are less prone to clumping and caking, ensuring a more consistent application of nutrients to the soil.
