Product of xanthoproteic reaction with the characteristic yellow color
The xanthoproteic reaction is a method that can be used to detect a presence of protein soluble in a solution, using concentrated nitric acid. The test gives a positive result in amino acids carrying aromatic groups, especially in the presence of tyrosine. If the test is positive the proof is neutralized with an alkali, turning dark yellow. The yellow colour is due to xanthoproteic acid which is formed due to nitration of certain amino acids, most common examples being tyrosine and tryptophan.[1] This chemical reaction is a qualitative test, determining the presence or absence of proteins.
Reaction of nitration of tyrosine as an example xanthoproteic reaction
Procedure[edit]
Add 1 ml of concentrated HNO3 to 1 ml of the test sample. Heat the mixture and cool it. Slowly add sodium hydroxide (40% w/v in water) solution until the mixture becomes alkaline and a colour change is noted. If the colour changes from yellow to orange, this indicates the presence of an aromatic amino acid.
When human skin or nails are exposed to nitric acid, they turn yellow after some time, indicating the presence of protein. The finger nails show a bright yellow colour (finger nails are made up of keratin, which is a protein) which cannot be scraped off, unlike the yellow colouration on the skin which can be peeled off.[]

Correct option is D)
Xanthoproteic test—When a protein is treated with conc. H2SO4, a yellow colour is produced. This test is given by a protein which consists of α-amino-acids containing a benzene ring such as tyrosine, phenylalanine etc.
