JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Morning Shift Chemistry - Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Question 142 English Explanation 1
$$ \text { As } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 \text { is weak acid it dissociate to liberate } \mathrm{CO}_2 \text { gas and } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \text {. } $$

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Morning Shift Chemistry - Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Question 142 English Explanation 2
Equilibrium favours forward direction and $\mathrm{CO}_2$ is liberated. In the above two reactions, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3$ is comparatively weak acid.

$\therefore \mathrm{CO}_2$ gas is liberated.

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Morning Shift Chemistry - Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Question 142 English Explanation 3
Equilibrium favours backward direction and $\mathrm{CO}_2$ is not liberated.

Thus, only $B$ and $C$ will liberate carbon dioxide with sodium bicarbonate solution.
