Solution

The correct option is D Calcium hydroxide [ ${Ca(OH)}_{2}$ ] is aqueous in nature.

Calcium oxide ( $CaO$ ) is mentioned as (s), hence it is in solid state.

Water ( $H_{2} O$ ) is mentioned as (l), hence it is in liquid state and not in vapour state.

Calcium hydroxide [ ${Ca(OH)}_{2}$ ] is mentioned as (aq), since it forms a solution with water.

Heat is released in the reaction so it is an exothermic reaction.
