Answer» Correct Answer - B
Hydrogen cannot be prepared by the action of dil. `H_(2)SO_(4)` on copper or mercury as these two metals cannot displace displace hydrogen from acids. Action of dil. `H_(2)SO_(4)` on Pb stops after sometime due to the formation of insoluble `PbSO_(4)` Only, iron reacts rapidly with dil. `H_(2)SO_(4)`to give `H_(2)`.
