Solution

The correct option is D Gold (Au)
Generally, metals on reaction with acids liberate hydrogen gas. But gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) are noble metals. These metals are unreactive in nature and doesn’t react with hydrochloric acid at all. So, no bubbles of hydrogen gas are formed when gold reacts with hydrochloric acid.
