When copper nitrate is heated in the test tube, it decomposes into copper oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas. Initially, a molecule of water is lost and on further heating, we get nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas.

The chemical equation is -
heat
2Cu(NO3)2 → 2CuO+4NO2↑+O2↑
The two gases evolve as the reactant decomposes.

Therefore, the correct answer is D
