Black (Silver Oxide, Ag2O, Only with pure Oxygen)
Silver chromate is a yellowish-white or pale yellow color.
The blue color in the solution is likely due to the presence of copper ions from the copper wire reacting with the silver nitrate to form a copper nitrate complex. To demonstrate it's a redox reaction, you can show the transfer of electrons from the copper atoms in the wire (losing electrons, getting oxidized) to the silver ions in the solution (gaining electrons, getting reduced).
Silver argent refers to a bright, shiny silver color typically associated with the metal silver itself. The term is often used in heraldry to describe a silver or white color on a coat of arms or flag.
AgF (silver (I) fluoride or argentous fluoride is a yellow-brown color. The compound AgF2 silver (II) fluoride or argentic fluoride is white.
Silver chloride precipitate is white in color.
Oxidized silver is not necessarily sterling silver but sterling silver can be oxidized. Oxidation is a finish on silver, otherwise known as tarnish. Sterling silver can tarnish and silver plate can tarnish, too.
The iron is oxidized and the silver is reduced.
Yes, oxidized silver can still tarnish over time. While the oxidation process creates a darkened or antiqued look on the silver, it does not prevent tarnishing. To prevent tarnishing on oxidized silver, it's essential to store it in a dry, airtight container when not in use and avoid exposing it to chemicals like perfume or hairspray.
Oxidized silver is not necessarily sterling silver but sterling silver can be oxidized. Oxidation is a finish on silver, otherwise known as tarnish. Sterling silver can tarnish and silver plate can tarnish, too.
In a galvanic cell with silver and nickel electrodes, nickel is oxidized at the anode. During oxidation, nickel atoms lose electrons and become Ni2+ ions, contributing to the flow of electrons in the cell. Silver acts as the cathode where reduction reactions take place.
In the electroplating process, during the oxidation reaction, silver atoms are oxidized to Ag+ ions for silver plating, and iron atoms are oxidized to Fe2+ ions for iron plating. This allows the metal ions to be deposited onto the object being plated.
Oxidized silver is a deliberate tarnishing process used to create a darkened or blackened appearance on the surface of silver jewelry or decorative items. This technique enhances details and gives a piece an antique or rustic look by highlighting texture and depth. Oxidized silver should not be confused with silver that has tarnished due to exposure to air and moisture over time.

The answer is not c.
The black tarnish on silver is silver sulfide, Ag2S. Presumably you are boiling silver in a metal pot. The salt water completes an electrochemical cell between the silver sulfide and the aluminum, copper, or iron pot. The oxidized silver in silver sulfide is reduced to silver metal, and part of the metal pot is oxidized; the reaction happens because silver wants to be reduced more than the other metals do. You might imagine that as the metal is oxidized it would become iron, copper, or aluminum sulfide, but the metal sulfides, especially aluminum sulfide, are not so stable. Aluminum sulfide hydrolyzes to aluminum hydroxides and hydrogen sulfide, H2S, the stinky gas, which is probably what you are calling "sulfur".
