Solution

The correct option is A $N a_{2} C O_{3} \cdot N a H C O_{3} \cdot 2 H_{2} O$
Trona (trisodium hydrogendicarbonate dihydrate also sodium sesguicarbonate dihydrate); $N a_{3} (C O_{3}) (H C O_{3}) .2 H_{2} O$ which can be written as $N a_{2} C O_{3} \cdot N a H C O_{3} \cdot 2 H_{2} O$ .
Hence option A is correct.
