The answer is the option (i). There is no liberation of hydrogen from acids when copper is added.

\text {Cu}+\text{2H}_{2}\text {SO}_{4}\rightarrow \text {CuSO}_{4}+\text {SO}_{2}+\text {2H}_{2}\text {O}

\text {3Cu}+\text{8HNO}_{3}\rightarrow \text {3Cu}(NO_{3})_{2}+\text {2NO}+\text {4H}_{2}\text {O}
