    Ok, I give... what on earth is the spoiler thingy on here ?

    N = nitrogen
    K = potassium
    P = phosphorus

    The numbers have to do with the percentage of each mineral in the fertilizer, usually a standardized formula. The answer is not #C.

    I asked my son who is building a website for a new fertilizer company. It is B.
