Solution

The correct option is B
Nitrous oxide

The reaction of nitric acid with various metals mainly depends upon the concentration of the acid as well as the nature of the metal. When zinc reacts with dilute nitric acid zinc nitrate, water and nitrous oxide is formed.

$4 Z n + 10 H N O_{3} \to 4 Z n (N O_{3})_{2} + 5 H_{2} O + N O_{2}$
