It's cos HNo3 is a strong oxidising agent causing the hydrogen gas produced to b oxidised not cos it's corrosive
When nitric acid (HNO3) reacts with most metals, it typically undergoes a redox reaction where the metal is oxidized and the nitrate ion (NO3-) is reduced. However, in the case of concentrated nitric acid, it acts as a strong oxidizing agent and can react with some metals to produce nitrogen oxides, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), rather than liberating hydrogen gas.
So, the correct answer should be:
C. an oxidizing agent.
please can someone tell me what is wrong with my school all their answers are wrong the correct answer is C because it is a strong oxidizing agent
my school pls the correct answer should be oxidizing agent not corrosive acid pls make necessary corrections
Corrosives can also damage or even destroy metal. ... Most corrosives are either acids or bases. Common acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, chromic acid, acetic acid and hydrofluoric acid.
i think it's both an oxidising agent and a corrosive acid 
, but if it corrodes the metal , it won't be able to liberate hydrogen, not too mention oxidising it
