Solution

The correct option is A $N a_{2} C O_{3}$
Sodium carbonate will not decompose in the presence of heat. This is because sodium is a very reactive metal, and hence forms a very strong bond with the carbonate ion.
Compared to other carbonates given here Sodium is most reactive and thus will be having stable carbonates than all.
