Solution

The correct option is A FeCl2
The compound (A) is hydrated ferric sulphate (green vitriol) FeSO47H2O
2FeSO4ΔSO2+SO3+Fe2O3
The compound E is ferric oxide (Fe2O3).
Fe2O3+6HCl(warm conc)2FeCl3+3H2O
With H2S, the solution (F) (ferric chloride FeCl3) yields a pale yellow ppt. (G) of S, which when filtered, leaves a greenish filtrate (H) of FeCl2. The compound H is FeCl2.
2FeCl3+H2S2FeCl2+2HCl+S
