Solution

The correct option is A (a) - Carbon dioxide, (b) - NaCl, (c) - NH4Cl, (d) - Heat
Ammonium carbonate reacts with carbon dioxide (a) to form ammonium bicarbonate.
(NH4)2CO3+CO2+H2O2NH4HCO3
Ammonium bicarbonate reacts with NaCl (b) to form sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride (c).
NH4HCO3+NaClNaHCO3+NH4Cl
Sodium bicarbonate on heating (d) decomposes to sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water.
2NaHCO3ΔNa2CO3+CO2+H2O
