    A) \[NO_{2}^{-}\]

    B) \[NO_{2}^{+}\]

    C) \[NO_{3}^{-}\]

    D) \[N{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[HO-N{{O}_{2}}+{{H}^{+}}HS{{O}_{4}}^{-}\to \]\[{{H}_{2}}O+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\text{Nitronium}\,\text{ion} \\  \text{(attacking species)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{O}_{2}}^{+}+HS{{O}_{4}}^{-}}}\,\]
