The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Lead Nitrate and Confirmatory Tests

Lead nitrate, \( \text{Pb(NO}_3)_2 \), is a soluble colorless compound. Confirmatory tests for ions usually involve the formation of a precipitate or a distinctly colored complex.

Lead sulphate (white precipitate), lead chromate (yellow precipitate), and lead iodide (yellow precipitate) are all used as confirmatory tests for lead(II) ions.

Since lead nitrate is colorless and soluble, it's not used as a confirmatory test.
