Solution

The correct option is C K2PbO2
Lead is a amphoteric metal. It reacts with both acid and a base.
Amphoteric metal + Acid/Base Salt + Hydrogen gas
Pb(s) + conc.KOH(aq) K2PbO2(aq) + H2(g)
Here, lead combines with KOH and forms potassium plumbite and releases hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas on contact with a burning splinter produces a pop-up sound.
