The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

  • NO₂ (Nitrogen Dioxide) is a brown-colored gas, which gives it a distinctive appearance.
  • It is acidic in nature because it dissolves in water to form nitric acid (HNO₃) and nitrous acid (HNO₂), which are both acidic.

Thus, NO₂ is brown in color and acidic in nature, making option (C) the correct answer.
