Solution

The correct option is C Salt and nitrogen oxide
Nitric acid is strongly acidic in nature. Metals react with acids to form salt and hydrogen gas, but it reacts with nitric acid to form only salt as it is a strong oxidizing agent.
However magnesium and manganese react with very dilute nitric acid to form salt and hydrogen.
