Correct Answer - D
An acid stronger than `H_(2)CO_(3)` will ony liberate `CO_(2)` from `NaHCO_(3)` . `CH_(3)OH` is a weaker acid than water. `CH_(3)NH_(2)` is again a weaker acid than `NH_(3) -a` Lewis base. `(CH_(3))_(4)` and a weak base `(CH_(3))_(3)N. CH_(3)overset(+)(NH)_(3)Cl^(-) -a` salt of a weak base `CH_(3)NH_(2)` and a strong acid HCl is quite acidic to decompose `NaHCO_(3)`.
