An aqueous blue coloured solution of a transition metal sulphate reacts with `H_(2)S` to give a black precipitate. The black precipitate dissolves in `50%` nitric acid forming a blue coloured solution. The blue solution on treatment with KI in weakly acidic medium turns yellow`//` brown and produces a white precipitate. Identify the transition metal ion from the following ions.
A. `Co^(2+)`
B. `Cu^(2+)`
C. `Hg^(2+)`
D. `Pb^(2+)`
