Zinc liberates hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid because zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. However, copper does not liberate hydrogen gas when reacted with dilute hydrochloric acid because copper is less reactive than hydrogen.
When reactive metals react with dilute hydrochloric acids, gives a salt and hydrogen gas
Metal + Dilute acid → Salt + Hydrogen

Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 +...
(a) When dilute sulphuric acid is poured on a copper plate, there will be evolution of hydrogen gas along with the formation of blue color crystals of copper sulphate.

The following reaction takes place:
Fe + 2HCl -----> FeCl2 + H2
Iron Hydrochloric acid lron chloride Hydrogen
Thus, hydrogen and iron chloride are produced. Therefore, (a) is the correct answer.
Zinc is above hydrogen rvhereas copper is below hydrogen in the activity series of metals. That is why zinc displaces hydrogen from dilute hydrochloric acid, while copper does not.
