C.A filter paper soaked in mercurous nitrate turns black in contact with ammonia gas.
D.Ag2O does not dissolve in nitric acid and ammonia solution.

Solution

(A) Fe2+ responds to this test but not Fe3+; Fe(II) gives soluble red iron(II) dimethylglyoxime in alkaline solution.
(D) Ag2O ↓ + 4NH3 + H2O → 2[Ag(NH3)2]+ + 2OH-
Ag2O ↓ + 2H+ →  2Ag+ + H2O
