Solution

The correct option is A benzene sulphonic acid and benzene
When benzene reacts with sulphuric acid or sulphur trioxide then it forms benzene sulphonic acid as a product. The reaction can be given as follow:
C6H6+H2SO4C6H5SO3H+H2O
Or
C6H6+SO3HC6H5SO3H+H2O
Thus the product X is benzene sulphonic acid
And when X is passed through steam it forms benzene again.
C6H5SO3H+H2OC6H6+H2SO4
