Solution

The correct option is B CaCO3

When you pass carbon dioxide through this solution, the two compounds carbon dioxide (CO2) and calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 will react to form white and insoluble calcium carbonate which precipitates out of the solution.

The reaction is as follow:

Ca(OH)2+CO2CaCO3+H2O
