Solution

The correct options are
A $C O_{2}$
B $H_{2} C O_{3}$
C $C a C_{2}$
The following compounds are also used in inorganic chemistry.
1) Carbon Dioxide is used in many process like in extraction of elements it is used as reducing agent.
2) $H_{2} C O_{3}$ is called carbonic acid, which is a weak acid but studied in the theory of acids.
3) $C_{a} C_{2}$ is called calcium carbide, which is a source of calcium and also used in industry for the formation of other products like cacium cyanamide.
While $(C O O H)_{2}$ is purely an organic compound called oxalic acid. It is classified as dicarboxylic acid.
Hence option A, B and D is correct.
