Answer:

C) ZnCl2(s) + H2(g)

Explanation:

On reaction between Zn and HCl, Zn is more reactive than Hydrogen thus displacing it from HCl making a bond with two atoms of chlorine and releases hydrogen gas.

The equation of reaction

Zn(s) + HCl(aq) => ZnCl2(s) + H2(g).

Therefore, the required products are ZnCl2(aq) and H2(g).
