Solution

The correct option is A Fe2O3

Industrially, the Bosch process/ water-gas shift reaction is very crucial because it helps to manufacture H2. Further extraction of hydrogen from water gas makes the manufacture of H2 much more feasible economically. The second reaction involves catalyst.
CO(g)+H2(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)
The most significant catalyst used is Fe2O3.
