Solution

The correct option is B
S^2-

Metallic sulphides react with dil. sulphuric acid to form respective salt and hydrogen sulphide gas is evolved. The gas is colourless having a foul smell of rotten eggs and it turns moist litmus paper red.

$F e S + H_{2} S O_{4} \to F e S O_{4} + H_{2} S$

So, salt X contains $S^{2 -}$ ion.
