Solution

The correct option is B Ca(HCO3)2
Ca(HCO3) is not stable at normal temperature and hence is isolated from from water, also bicarbonates of alkaline earth metals are reactive with atmospheric CO2 leading to formation of CaCO3. Hence, it doesn't exist in solid state.
So, option C is correct answer.
