Solution

The correct option is D $C O$ and $H_{2}$
Water gas is a synthesis gas, containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It is a useful product but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The gas is made by passing steam over a red-hot carbon fuel such as coke.
$H_{2} O + C \to H_{2} + C O$
So answer is D.
