$Option D.$ $"Option D."$

Explanation:

$F e C O_{3}$ $FeCO_3$ occurs as the mineral $siderite$ $"siderite"$ . Under acidic conditions, the carbonate would react to liberate carbon dioxide......

$F e C O_{3} (s) + 2 H X (a q) \to F e X_{2} (a q) + H_{2} O (l) + C O_{2} (g) ↑ ⏐$ $FeCO_3(s) + 2HX(aq) rarr FeX_2(aq) + H_2O(l) + CO_2(g)uarr$

The iron halide would be water soluble............

Note that nitrates are usually soluble, and mercurous and plumbic halides are pretty insoluble.
