Solution

The correct option is A Fe and Pt

Iron and platinum will react with concentrated nitric acid, but not with highly concentrated nitric acid.That happens because very concentrated nitric acid forms a protective metal oxide layer on the surface of the metal atom , which eventually stops the reaction by preventing the further oxidation of the metal. So Fe and Pt do not give a metal nitrate on treatment with concentrated HNO3 Hence option B is correct.
