Solution

The correct option is A copper nitrate
Dilute sulphuric acid reacts with lead nitrate to form insoluble sulphates by double decomposition.
$P b {(N O_{3})}_{2 (a q)} + H_{2} S O_{4 (a q)} ⟶ P b S O_{4 (s)} ↓ + 2 H N O_{3 (a q)}$
The nitrate of $Z n, C u$ and $N a$ will not react with dilute $H_{2} S O_{4}$ as their sulphates are soluble in water.
