In the titration of potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ against ferrous ammonium sulphate $(FAS)$ solution,dilute sulphuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$ but not nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ is used to maintain an acidic medium,because:

  • A
    It is difficult to identify the end point
  • B
    Nitric acid does not act as an indicator
  • C
    Nitric acid itself is an oxidizing agent
  • D
    Nitric acid is a weaker acid than sulphuric acid
