Correct Answer - B
`NO_(3)^(-)` gives `NO_(2)` with concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)` which on passing through water form colourless `HNO_(3)(l)` and `HNO_(2)(l)`
`Br^(-)+MnO_(2)` on heating with concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)` gives `Br_(2)` gas which on passing through water imparts it a reddish brown colour.
