It can be converted into nitrogen-based fertilizers is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe the Haber process as the industrial manufacture of ammonia. (Chemistry only). This belongs to the subtopic The Haber process within The Haber process and the use of NPK fertilisers, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context.
