Solution

The correct option is C $H_{2} C_{2} O_{4}$
$H_{2} S O_{4}$ has a strong affinity for water and it absorbs water quickly. So, it helps to remove water of crystallization from compounds. With $B a (O H)_{2}$ and $N a O H$ , neutralization reaction occurs. So, $H_{2} S O_{4}$ dehydrates $H_{2} C_{2} O_{4}$ .
