The gas that is evolved when a metal is treated with dilute sulphuric acid is Hydrogen. So, the correct answer is (a) Hydrogen.
Here's the step by step process:
-
When a metal reacts with an acid, a salt and hydrogen gas are produced. This is a general reaction where an acid reacts with a metal.
-
In this case, the metal is reacting with dilute sulphuric acid. The reaction would look something
