The correct option is C Zn
Zinc reacts with dil nitric acid to form zinc nitrate.

4Zn+10HNO3dil4Zn(NO3)2+NH4(NO3)2+3H2O

Zinc nitrate reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium nitrate and white precipitate of zinc hydroxide.

2NaOH+Zn(NO3)22NaNO3+Zn(OH)2white precipitate

Zinc hydroxide reacts with excess sodium hydroxide to form sodium zincate.

Zn(OH)2+2NaOHexcessNa2ZnO2sodium zincate+2H2O

Sodium zincate reacts with hydrogen sulphide to form a white precipitate of zinc sulphide.

Na2ZnO2sodium zincate+H2SZnSwhite precipitate+2NaOH+2H2O
