Solution

The correct option is A Formation of H2 gas
Certain metals on reaction with acids liberate hydrogen gas. This is the reason why bubbles are formed in the solution.

For example, the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid leads to the formation of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas is released in the form of bubbles.
