Solution

The correct option is A i, ii, iii, iv
$L i H C O_{3}$ does not exist in solid state due to the high hydration enthalpy of $L i^{+}$ ion and its diagonal relation with $M g$ from alkaline earth metal group where none of the metals bicarbonate exists in solid state.
Group 2 elements having more polarising power form covalent bonds, they tend to exist in aqueous solution only rather than solid.Thus $C a (H C O_{3})_{2}$ exist in aqueous solution only.
Further $Z n (H C O_{3})_{2}$ and $A g H C O_{3}$ are soluble always and they exist as solutions always rather than alkali metal and ammonium salts of bicarbonate exist as solids.
