The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(I) \(\mathrm{Ca(OH)_2}\) (slaked lime) is used in white wash : (B).
(II) NaCl is the raw material of the Solvay process for sodium carbonate (washing soda) : (D).
(III) \(\mathrm{CaSO_4\cdot\frac{1}{2}H_2O}\) is plaster of Paris, used for making casts of statues and in orthopaedics : (A).
(IV) \(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\) is used as an antacid : (C).
So (I)-(B), (II)-(D), (III)-(A), (IV)-(C).
Answer: (2) (I)-(B), (II)-(D), (III)-(A), (IV)-(C)
