Solution

The correct option is B $Z n O - C r_{2} O_{3}$
Water gas is an equimolar mixture of $C O$ and $H_{2}$ .

A mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide $(Z n O - C r_{2} O_{3})$ converts water gas into methanol $(C H_{3} O H)$ .

The temperature of the reaction is 573 K.

$C O + H_{2} Z n O - C r_{2} O_{3} - ------- \to C H_{3} O H$

Option D is correct.
