Which Equation Correctly Represents What Happens When NO₂ dissolves in Water

Which equation correctly represents what happens when NO₂ dissolves in water?

A) NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → H₂O₂ (aq) + NO (g)
B) 2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2H⁺ (aq) + NO₄^2- (aq) + NO (g)
C) NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2H⁺ (aq) + NO₃^- (aq)
D) 2NO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l) → 2 HNO₂ (aq) + O₂ (g) + H₂ (g)
E) 3NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2H⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃^- (aq) + NO (g)
