The correct option is option (D) Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent.

As nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent, it oxidizes the hydrogen to produce water.

After oxidizing the hydrogen into water, it reduces itself to any of the nitrogen oxides.

Therefore, Nitric acid is not used to yield Hydrogen gas from a metal..
