Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

- Iron sulfide reacts with hydrochloric acid, releasing hydrogen sulfide: FeS + 2HCl → FeCl\(_2\) + H\(_2\)S.

- Hydrogen sulfide reacts with lead acetate to form lead sulfide and thus produces a coloration on the paper which will vary from yellow to black, depending upon the amount of hydrogen sulfide present.
