Solution

The correct option is B CO2
Carbon dioxide is soluble in water in which it forms carbonic acid which is a weak acid since its ionization in water is incomplete. It exists in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas at concentration of about 0.04% by volume. It is the primary source of carbon in life on Earth.
