D Correct answer
Explanation

Mass of 1 litre of H2SO4 solution = volume * density = 1000 *1.84 g = 1840 g = mass of H2SO4 present in 1 litre 96% H2SO4 solution = (96 / 100) *1840 g = 1766.4 g Or, strength of H2SO4 solution = 1766.4 g / litre Or Normality (N) = (Strength (gL-1) / equivalent Mass)   = (1766.4 / 49) = 36.05 (N); which match with the given option, hence this is a correct option.
