The solution of a sample in a tube will be identified as a chloride if it gives
A. a white precipitate on addition of AgNO3 and barium chloride solutions
B. a white precipiate when acidified with HCI, and then AgNO3 solution added
C. a white precipitate when acidified with dilute HNO3 and then AgNO3 solution added
D. a white precipitate when acidified with dilute H2SO4 and then barium nitrate solution added
E. a pungent smell of chlorine gas when dilute HCI and MnO2 are added

This is test for chloride ions and I'm certain CL gives white ppt on adding agno3, the PPT is insoluble in hcl but soluble in NH3
But in past questions and even on this my school app, they are choosing HNO3 instead of HCL, that is C instead of B. pls help 🙏🏽?
