Solution

The correct option is A True
Being a powerful oxidizing acid, nitric acid reacts violently with many organic materials and the reactions may be explosive.
For example: $10 S + 40 {H N O}_{3} ⟶ {10 H}_{2} {S O}_{4} + 40 {N O}_{2} + H_{2} O$
Hence, we can say that the statement 'All non metals react with nitric acid.' is true.
