Solution

The correct options are
B $Z n C O_{3}$
C $Z n S O_{3}$
D $M g C O_{3}$
$N a_{2} C O_{3}$ is a very stable carbonate, resisting decomposition upto a very high temperature, often till its melting temperature, hence no $C O_{2}$ is liberated. In case of $Z n C O_{3}$ and $M g C O_{3}$ being heated $C O_{2}$ is liberated. In case of $Z n S O_{3}$ , $S O_{2}$ is liberated on heating along with zinc oxide.
