Problem

A white crystalline solid 'A' on boiling with caustic soda solution gives a gas 'B', which on passing through an alkaline solution of potassium tetraiodomercurate (II) solution gives a brown ppt. The substance 'A' on heating evolves a neutral gas 'C', which is inert at room temperature and reactive in presence of catalyst and does not give brown fumes with nitric oxide. The gas 'C' is: (1) N2O\text{N}_2\text{O} (2) O2\text{O}_2 (3) NO\text{NO} (4) N2\text{N}_2
