Very Interesting question :

This is the experiment to know whether metals and non metals reacts with acid .

The correct option is none of these:

Explanation :

Metal + Acid ---> Salt +Hydrogen gas

Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl2 +H2

2Al+ 6HCl---> 2AlCl3 +3H2

Test for H2 gas:
Burning matchstick produces pop sound.


Non metals + Acid ---> No reaction.

Since in all the options nonmetals are present like Charcoal which contains carbon.
Sulphur --- nonmetal

Conclusion : Only in Mg, Al test tubes pop sound is heard. So options does not match with it.
