Solution

The correct option is A $H N O_{3}, N O, N_{2}, N H_{4} C l$
The oxidation states of nitrogen are given below:
$H N O_{3} \to N^{+ 5}$
$N O \to N^{+ 2}$
$N H_{4} C l \to N^{- 3}$
$N_{2} \to N^{o}$
Hence, the descending order of the oxidation state of nitrogen is $H N O_{3}, N O, N_{2}, N H_{4} C l$ .
