Solution
The correct option is BNaBrO3 and C When NaBrO3 reacts with carbon, sodium bromide (residue) and CO2 gas is liberated which turns limewater milky. When silver nitrate is added to the residue, yellow precipitate of silver bromide is formed. 2NaBrO3+2C→2NaBr+3CO2↑ 2NaBr+AgNO3→AgBr↓(yellow ppt)+NaNO3
