Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Copper turnings will dissolve in warm dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) without effervescence to give a blue solution.

When copper reacts with sulfuric acid, it forms copper sulfate (CuSO4), a salt that is blue in color. The reaction is: 

  • Cu (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → CuSO4 (aq) + H2 (g) ↑ 
  • Copper + Sulfuric acid → Copper sulfate + Hydrogen
