Solution

The correct option is C both carbon dioxide and dihydrogen
water gas shift reaction
$C O_{(g a s)} + H_{2} O_{(g a s)} 773 K - ------- \to F e_{2} O_{3} . C r_{2} O_{3} C O_{2} + 2 H_{2}$
$C O_{2}$ is dissolved in water under high pressure (20-25 atm) and the $H_{2}$ left undissolved is collected.
