Solution

The correct option is B $C O$
The reaction of formic acid with concentrated sulphuric acid gives $C O$ .

Sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent. It dehydrates formic acid to give $C O$ and water.

$H C O O H c o n c . H_{2} S O_{4}, d e h y d r a t i o n - -------------- \to C O + H_{2} O$

Hence option (A) is correct.
