Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Nitric acid is not used in the preparation of hydrogen because it is a strong oxidizing agent, meaning it readily oxidizes the hydrogen gas produced during the reaction with a metal, converting it to water and thus preventing the collection of hydrogen gas; instead, acids like dilute hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid are preferred for hydrogen production as they do not oxidize hydrogen.
