A non-metal $A$, which is the largest constituent of air, when heated with $H_2$ in a $1 : 3$ ratio in the presence of a catalyst $(Fe)$, gives a gas $B$. On heating with $O_2$, it gives an oxide $C$. If this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air, it gives an acid $D$, which acts as a strong oxidising agent.
$(a)$ Identify $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$.
