Solution

The correct option is C Carbonic acid
An acid is characterised by its ability to easily lose its H+ ions and metal displaces these H+ ions.
Carbonic acid, a very weak acid is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. Here the CO2 molecules are loosely bonded with water which gets broken easily
. Hence, the reaction does not take place.
