"Option D"

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is the "carbonation" in soft drinks and beers, and champagnes. When we bottle beer or ginger beer at home, we add a teaspoon of sugar just before we cap the bottle. This sugar will be fermented by residual yeast to give carbon dioxide, and a "sparkling drink".

What would happen if we added ""^(-)C-=O^(+)?
