Answer»

The correct answer is (b) Blue

The BEST I can explain: Dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3) is FOUND to be blue in colour in both its liquid and solid state. The blue colouration tends to appear because dinitrogen trioxide is a radical pair of nitric OXIDE and NITROGEN dioxide that tend to absorb strongly in the visible region to appear bright blue.
