Solution

The correct option is B H2O+HNO3
Maximum-boiling azeotrope is said to be a negative azeotrope because the vapour pressure of the solution is less than as expected by Raoult's law. It boils at a higher temperature than the pure components.

H2O+HNO3 mixture will have a negative deviation from ideality due to the presence of hydrogen bond between molecules.

Hence, option D is correct.
