Solution
Answer is d) hydrofluoric acid
Any acid whose anion has affinity to form bonds with silicon that is greater than Oxygen will readily dissolve glass.
Hydrofluoric acid is an example, but there are other super-acids such as Fluoro-antimonic acid H2SbF6H2SbF6 that should not be stored in glass containers.
