Solution

The correct option is A carbon dioxide, copper carbonate
Copper reacts with carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas, and water vapour present in the atmosphere to form a green layer of basic copper carbonate on its surface.
$2 Cu (s) + H_{2} O (g) + {CO}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) \to {CuCO}_{3} (s) + Cu {(OH)}_{2} (s)$
