Solution

The correct option is C Salt and nitrogen oxide
Nitric acid $H N O_{3}$ is a strong oxidising agent. The Hydrogen gas produced during its reaction with metal gets oxidised to $H_{2} O$ , hence no hydrogen gas is produced. Instead it evolves nitric oxides such as $N O_{2}$ ,NO etc.
However magnesium and manganese react with very dilute nitric acid to form salt and hydrogen.
