Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

1mole of gas at STP = 22.4dm\(^3\)
0.0075 mole of CaCO3  = xdm\(^3\)

cross multiply;

where 22.4dm\(^3\) = 22400cm\(^3\)

x * 1 = 0.0075 * 22400 → 168cm\(^3\)

 the gas CO2 which evolved was gotten from CaCO3 so we use the number of moles of CaCO3 only

There is an explanation video available below.
