Solution

The correct option is A $C a C l_{2}$
Permanent hardness is caused by dissolved chloride, sulfate, and nitrates of Calcium & magnesium (which are not removed by boiling) and temporary hardness is caused by dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate (which is removed by boiling).

Hence, the correct option is $A.$
