The answer is C but, it should be NH4Cl not NHCl4. That's typographical error.

The correct answer is:
✅ C. NH₄Cl (Ammonium chloride)

The ammonium compound used in the manufacture of dry cells (like zinc-carbon batteries) is ammonium chloride (NH₄CL).

Why Not the Other Options?🤓👀

A. NH₄NO₃ (Ammonium nitrate) ❌
Used mainly in fertilizers and explosives, not in dry cells.

B. (NH₄)₂SO₄ (Ammonium sulfate) ❌
Used as a fertilizer and in some chemical processes, but not in batteries.

D. (NH₄)₂CO₃ (Ammonium carbonate) ❌
Used in baking, smelling salts, and pharmaceuticals, but not in dry cells.
