Answer : The correct option is, (C) $H_2S$ gas

Explanation :

Double replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange their places to form two new products.

It is represented as,

$XY+AB\rightarrow XB+AY$

(X and A are the cations, Y and B are the anions)

When the iron sulfide (FeS) combined with hydrogen chloride (HCl) to give iron(II)chloride and hydrogen sulfide gas as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$FeS(s)+HCl(l)\rightarrow FeCl_2(s)+H_2S(g)$

Hence, the gas would be, (C) $H_2S$ gas
