(C) The reaction with $HCl$ indicates the presence of $Pb^{2+}$,$Ag^+$,or $Hg_2^{2+}$ as they form white chloride precipitates. When $NH_4OH$ is added to a mercurous salt $(Hg_2^{2+})$,it undergoes disproportionation to form a black precipitate of metallic mercury $(Hg)$ and amino-mercuric chloride $(Hg(NH_2)Cl)$. The reaction is: $Hg_2^{2+} + 2NH_4OH \to Hg(l) + Hg(NH_2)Cl(s) + NH_4^+ + 2H_2O$. This black precipitate does not dissolve in excess $NH_4OH$.

$A$ solution of a metal ion,when treated with $KI$,gives a red precipitate which dissolves in excess $KI$ to give a colourless solution. Moreover,the solution of the metal ion,on treatment with a solution of cobalt$(II)$ thiocyanate,gives rise to a deep blue crystalline precipitate. The metal ion is:
