Solution

The correct option is D
Upward displacement of air

Upward displacement of air.

The method of collecting a gas produced by a chemical reaction will depend on its solubility and its density. It is the best method of collecting a gas so long as the gas is insoluble or slightly soluble in water. Since it is 1.28 times heavier than air, it is collected by upward displacement of air.
