Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq)||NO(g)|NO3-(aq),H+(aq)|Pt(s)|
Fe(s)+2NO3-(aq)+4H+(aq)Fe2+(aq)+NO(g)+2H2O(l)
3Fe(s)+2NO3-(aq)+8H+(aq)3Fe2+(aq)+2NO(g)+4H2O(l)
3Fe(s)+NO3-(aq)+8H+(aq)3Fe2+(aq)+2NO(g)+H2O(l)
Fe(s)+NO3-(aq)+4H+(aq)Fe2+(aq)+NO(g)+2H2O(l)

Correct
Separate the line notation into two half-cell reactions by considering that the oxidation half-reaction components are on the left and the reduction half-reaction components are on the right. Balance each half-reaction with respect to charge by adding electrons:
Oxidation: ,Fe(s)Fe2+(aq)+2e-
Reduction: ,NO3-(aq)+4H+(aq)+3e-NO(g)+2H2O(l)
Make the number of electrons in both half-reactions equal by multiplying the oxidation half-reaction by 3, and the reduction half-reaction by 2 :
3Fe(s),3Fe2+(aq)+6e-
2NO3-(aq)+8H+(aq)+6e-,2NO(g)+4H2O(l)
Add the two half-reactions together and cancel the electrons to get the overall balanced reaction:
3Fe(s)3Fe2+(aq)+6e'
2NO3-(aq)+8H+(aq)+6e-2NO(g)+4H2O(l)
3Fe(s)+2NO3-(aq)+8H+(aq)3Fe2+(aq)+2NO(g)+4H2O(l)
