Solution

The correct options are
A Calcium carbonate
B Carbon dioxide
D Water
When calcium bicarbonate is boiled, it decomposes to form an insoluble precipitate of calcium carbonate along with carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is given below:
$C a {(H C O_{3})}_{2} boiling - --- \to C a C O_{3} + C O_{2} + H_{2} O$

The deposition of insoluble calcium carbonate on a surface is called scaling.
