Solution

The correct option is C Cu(NO3)2
Copper sulphides on reacting with dil.HNO3 forms nitrates, which on heating sulphur is oxidised to sulphate and copper sulphate is formed.

Copper sulphate on reacting with excess of ammonium hydroxide forms a soluble complex, tetramminecopper (II) complex which is deep blue in colour.

Only Cu ion forms deep blue complex with ammonium hydroxide.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
