A Correct answer
Explanation

Nitrates are the salts formed from nitric acid, following the naming rule that acid names ending in '-ic' form salts ending in '-ate'. Nitric acid (HNO3) produces salts called nitrates (e.g., sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate). The 'nitric' ending becomes 'nitrate' in the salt name.
