Nitric acid
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Nitric acid. According to the Chemical Data Guide, nitric acid is not compatible with the products polybutene and o-xylene. This is because nitric acid is a highly reactive oxidizing agent that can react violently with hydrocarbon compounds like polybutene and o-xylene, potentially causing fires or explosions. The other answer choices (A, B, and C) represent functional groups that are generally compatible with polybutene and o-xylene and would not pose the same level of reactivity concern.
