(C) Concentrated $H_2SO_4$,anhydrous $CaCl_2$,and $P_4O_{10}$ are not used to dry ammonia because $NH_3$ is basic and reacts with these acidic drying agents.$2NH_3 + H_2SO_4 (	ext{conc.}) ightarrow (NH_4)_2SO_4$$CaCl_2 + 4NH_3 ightarrow CaCl_2 \cdot 4NH_3$$P_4O_{10}$ reacts with $NH_3$ to form ammonium phosphate:$6NH_3 + P_4O_{10} + 6H_2O ightarrow 4(NH_4)_3PO_4$Since $NH_3$ is a basic gas,it is dried by passing it through quicklime $(CaO)$,which is a basic drying agent.
