Solution :-

Option d i.e. AgNO3 solution and copper is correct answer. Copper displaces the silver cations (reducing them to the elemental metal), in the process copper itself being oxidized to Copper II cations (Cu2+) and going into solution. So silver metal precipitating out and a copper II nitrate solution will be remaining.

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)
