Solution

The correct option is D Conc.HCl:Conc.HNO3 = 3:1
Aqua regia or nitro-hydrochloric acid is a highly corrosive mixture of acids, a fuming yellow or red solution. The mixture is formed by freshly mixing concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, optimally in a volume ratio of 1:3. Aqua regia is highly corrosive that it can dissolve metals, such as gold and platinum.
