Solution
The correct option is ACaCO3 When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which is a white precipitate. Ca(OH)2+CO2→CaCO3+H2O
When excess carbon dioxide is passed, the milkiness disappears due to the formation of calcium hydrogen carbonate which is highly soluble. CaCO3+H2O+CO2→Ca(HCO3)2
