Solution

The correct option is B NO and NO2
For describing law of multiple proportions, the pair NO and NO2 can be used.
According to the law of multiple proportions, if two elements combine to form more than one compound, then the different masses of one element which combine with fixed mass of other element, bear a simple ratio to one another.
In the pair NO and NO2, we have two elements N and O that combine to form more than one compound. In all other examples, more than two elements are present.
