H₂S gas is also known as hydrogen sulfide gas, which when dissolved in water forms hydrosulfuric acid (H2S). Therefore, the correct answer is C, hydrosulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid (A) is formed by the reaction of sulfur trioxide (SO3) with water. Sulfurous acid (B) is formed by the reaction of sulfur dioxide (SO2) with water.
