Solution

The correct option is A $C O + H_{2}$
Water gas is a synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen $(C O + H_{2})$ . It is a useful product but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The gas is made by passing steam over a red-hot carbon fuel, such as coke.
Hence, option C is correct.
