Solution

The correct option is B CuS and PbS
ZnS is soluble in acidic solution. Hence, it cannot be precipitated from acidic solution. However, it can be precipitated from alkaline solution and to some extent from neutral solution. CuS and PbS can be precipitated from acidic solution.
Thus, the treatment of hydrogen sulfide with a solution containing ions of copper, zinc and lead will precipitate CuS and PbS.
