When naming ternary compounds such as HNO₃, the structure of the compound helps predict the name of compound.
The structure of HNO₃ is as given in the image:
Here:
The hydrogen cation indicates that the compound is an acid.
The name of the anion predicts the name of the final molecule.
The number of oxygen atoms in the anion indicates use of the "-ic" suffix.
But the presence of oxygen in the anion does not indicates the prefix hydro so that is incorrect.
So the incorrect option is D.
