Solution

When calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with water (H2O), it forms calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). This is a type of reaction called a hydration reaction. Here is the chemical equation for this reaction:

CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2

As you can see from the equation, no gas is evolved during this reaction. Therefore, none of the options A, B, C, or D are correct. The reaction produces calcium hydroxide, which is a solid, not a gas.
