Solution

The correct option is A
Carbon dioxide

The component of air that has a maximum solubility in water is carbon dioxide $(C O_{2})$ , which dissolves in water to form carbonic acid $(H_{2} C O_{3})$ . This solubility of
$C O_{2}$ in water is also justified by the oceans which act as its atmospheric sink.
