Solution
The correct option is C evolution of heat Zinc is more reactive than iron. So when it is added to iron sulphate solution it displaces iron. The reaction involved is:
Zn (s)+FeSO4(aq)→ZnSO4(aq)+Fe(s)+Heat
The colour of solution changes from green to colourless due to the formation of zinc sulphate. The reaction is exothermic in nature.
