Solution

The correct option is A True
When CO2 passes through lime water, it turns it into milky carbonate water due to formation of insoluble calcium carbonate.
4Ca(OH)2+CO2CaCO3(+)+H2O
If CO2 is passed for longer period, turbidity disappears due to form of soluble calcium bicarbonate.
CaCO3+H2o+CO2CO2Ca(HCO3)2
