Solution

The correct option is C
curdy white precipitate of silver choride is obtained

When silver nitrate solution is added to dilute hydrochloric acid a curdy white precipitate of silver chloride is obtained. The equation for the reaction is given below.

$A g N O_{3} + H C l \to A g C l ↓ + H N O_{3}$

So the colour of the precipitate which is produced in this reaction is curdy white.
