Solution

The correct option is D
Law of definite proportion

The molecular formula of Ammonia is ${NH}_{3}$
When we take any mass of ammonia, it would contain a definite amount of nitrogen and hydrogen.
This amount must be $82.35 %$ nitrogen and $17.65 %$ hydrogen.
This is according to the law of Definite proportion.
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
