Water gas is mixed with steam and the mixture is passed over heated Fe2O3 in presence of Cr2O3. The mixture when passed in water dissolves CO2 and dihydro gen left undissolved is collected. This method of preparation of hydrogen gas is known as:

Solution
The correct option is A Bosch process For the commercial preparation of dihydrogen, Bosch process is used.
In Bosch's process, water gas (i.e. CO+H2 ) is mixed with twice of its volume of steam in presence of catalysts Fe2O3 and Cr2O3 or ThO2 where Cr2O3 acts as promoter. It gives the products CO2 and H2. Now, CO2 is dissolved in water & removed leaving H2 behind which is undissolved.
