Solution

The correct option is A $C O (g) + 2 H_{2} (g) c o b a l t - --- \to c a t a l y s t C H_{3} O H (l)$
The mixture of CO and $H_{2}$ is called water gas. As this mixture of CO and $H_{2}$ is used for the synthesis of methanol and a number of hydrocarbons, it is also called 'synthesis gas' or'syngas'.
In the reaction,
$C O_{(g)} + {2 H_{2}}_{(g)} c o b a l t - --- \to c a t a l y s t C H_{3} O H_{(l)}$
