(D.) Nitrifiers are bacteria that generate nitrites or nitrates.

Explanation:

In the nitrogen cycle which occurs in nature, ammonia and ammonium compounds in the soil from organic sources and are converted to nitrites and nitrates by aerobic microorganisms.

Nitrifiers, as the name implies, are these such aerobic bacteria which oxidize inorganic constituents in the soil to generate energy. Examples of these nitrifiers are nitrobacter and nitrosomonas.
