Solution

The correct option is A irreversible reaction
Reaction at room tenperature is:
NaCl(s)+H2SO4(s)NaHSO4(s)+HCl(g)
The reaction is irreversible as HCl escapes out.
Upon heating it above 200C reaction proceeds even further as:
NaCl(s)+NaHSO4(s)HCl(g)+Na2SO4(s)
Therefore its an endothermic reaction
thus only option A is correct.
