Solution

From the periodic table, copper (Cu) belongs to period 4 and group 1.
2Cu+O2<1370K−−−−−2CuO(BCupric Oxide)
2Cu+O2>1370K−−−−−2Cu2O(CCuprous Oxide)
CuConc. HNO3−−−−−−−Cu(NO3)2(DCupric Nitrate)+NO2+H2O
Hence the compound A,B,C and D are copper, cupric oxide, cuprous oxide and cupric nitrate respectively.
