$$NaCl_{(aq)}$$ gives a white precipitate with $$AgNO_3$$ solution but $$CCl_4$$ or $$CHCl_3$$ does not, because:

A$$NaCI$$ is a covalent compound and forms $$AgCl$$ as white ppt
B$$NaCl$$ is an ionic compound and forms $$AgCl$$ as white ppt
Correct Answer
C$$CCl_4$$ and $$CHCl_3$$ are ionic compound
Dnone of these

Solution

$$NaCl$$ being an ionic compound and thus reacts with $$AgNO_3{(aq)}$$ to give ionic reaction, forming $$AgCl$$ as white ppt. $$CCl_4$$ and $$CHCl_3$$ being covalent do not furnish $$Cl^-$$ ions in solution.
$$NaCl + AgNO_3 \rightarrow AgCl + NaNO_3$$
