Answer:

d) AQUA REGIA

Explanation:

Aqua Regia is a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid in the ratio 1:3. It is such a powerful solution that, it can dissolve any substance even gold and platinum.

This is because the nitric acid part of it is an excellent oxidising agent whereas HCl gives Cl- ions which can form a coordination complex with gold or silver ions.
