Solution

The correct option is C nascent form
When Zinc is passed through dil $H_{2} S O_{4}$ , nascent hydrogen is produced as:
$Z n + d i l H_{2} S O_{4} \to Z n S O_{4} + 2 [H]$
it is also suggested that nascent hydrogen is a molecular hydrogen but in higher energy state than that of molecular one.
