The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C".
The chemical reaction of Cavendish involving zinc would be a reaction between hydrochloric acid and zinc yielding zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation would be:
2Zn + 2HCl = 2ZnCl + H2
This is an example of a single replacement reaction where zinc replaces hydrogen in the acid molecule.
