Solution

The correct option is A CaCO3
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+CO2CaCO3+H2O
When excess carbon dioxide is passed, the milkiness disappears due to the formation of calcium hydrogen carbonate which is highly soluble.
CaCO3+H2O+CO2Ca(HCO3)2
