Solution

The correct option is C doesn't react with Al
Aluminum metal is not attacked by nitric acid of any concentration because of the thin and unreactive protective layer of aluminum oxide formed on the metallic surface due to the reaction of aluminium metal with oxygen of air.

Hence option C is correct.
