Solution

The correct option is D Carbonic acid
An acid is characterised by its ability to easily lose its $H^{+}$ ions and metal displaces these $H^{+}$ ions.
Carbonic acid, a very weak acid is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. Here the $C O_{2}$ molecules are loosely bonded with water which gets broken easily. Hence, the reaction does not take place.
