Solution

The correct option is D I, II and III
Zn+2HClZnCl2+H2
Due to the reaction of zinc with the acid, zinc loses its shiny appearance.
H2 gas is evolved during the reaction. We can identify the gas with a burning match stick. A pop sound indicates its presence.
Zinc chloride formed in the reaction is colourless, so, the solution does not change its colour.
Hence, all the statements are correct.
