Solution

The correct option is C carbon dioxide
Acids react with metal carbonates and bicarbonates to give carbon dioxide gas.

$Metal carbonates/ bicarbonates + acid \to salt + carbon dioxide (↑) + water$

For example, $C a l c i u m c a r b o n a t e + h y d r o c h l o r i c a c i d \to c a l c i u m c h l o r i d e + w a t e r + c a r b o n d i o x i d e (↑)$
