Detailed Solution

It is a sign that there are As3+ ions present when group- II precipitate dissolves in yellow ammonium sulphide and the colour of the solution is yellow. A yellow precipitate of arsenic (V) sulphide (C) is created when ammonium thioarsenide (B), which was formed when  As2S3 (A) was dissolved, decomposes with dilute HCl and dissolves in concentrated nitric acid on heating because of the generation of asenic acid. A canary yellow precipitate (D) is produced after heating the reaction mixture with ammonium molybdate solution. This demonstrates that As3+ ions are present.

The correct option is C As2S3
