Solution
The correct option is DS,H and Na Compound is a form of S,H and Na as SO2 reacts with lime water and make it milky. Water reacts with anhydrous CuSO4 and turn it blue. The reaction is CuSO4+H2O→CuSO4.5H2O. And sodium oxide is a simple strongly basic oxide. It is basic because it contains the oxide ion, O2−, which is a very strong base with a high tendency to combine with hydrogen ions.
