Solution

The correct options are
A HCl
C HBr
D HI
HCl+AgNO3AgCl+HNO3
AgCl+2Na2S2O3Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]+NaCl

HBr+AgNO3AgBr+HNO3
AgBr+2Na2S2O3Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]+NaBr

HI+AgNO3AgI+HNO3
AgI+2Na2S2O3Na3[Ag(S2O3)2]+NaI

whereas, AgNO3 with HF forms a soluble silver fluoride, and hence no precipitate is formed.
HF+AgNO3AgF(soluble)+HNO3
