Solution
The correct option is DCalcium Carbonate Temporary hardness is easily removed from water by boiling. When heated, the calcium hydrogen carbonate decomposes producing insoluble calcium carbonate. The insoluble carbonates are then filtered and removed from the water. This makes the hard water soft and fit for use.
