Solution
The correct option is C ammonium chloride Ammonium chloride consists of white crystals that are also available in more or less worked up rods or lumps. They sublime when heated; the substance changes directly from being solid to gas. The gas does not consist of ammonium chloride molecules but ammonia and hydrogen chloride. Option C is the answer.
