Solution

The correct option is D zinc
Option (D) is correct.
$X$ may contain zinc. Following is cobalt nitrate charcoal test.
$Z n S O_{4} + N a_{2} C O_{3} ⟶ Z n C O_{3} + N a_{2} S O_{4}$
$Z n C O_{3} ⟶ Z n O + C O_{2}$
$2 C o {(N O_{3})}_{2} ⟶ 2 C o O + 4 N O_{2} + O_{2}$
$C o O + Z n O ⟶ C o Z n O_{2} (G r e e n)$
