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.
