Detailed Solution

Concept- In response to the inquiry, chemical X is produced when a colorless gas is heated. It's carbon dioxide that is that colorless gas.
The responses to the question can be written as follows:
When compound X is heated, carbon dioxide, an invisible gas, is produced along with the residue (Calcium Oxide) .
CaCO 3 Δ CaO+ CO 2  
To produce the desired result, the residue (Calcium Oxide) is dissolved in water (Calcium Hydroxide) .
CaO+ H 2 OCa (OH) 2  
A surplus of carbon dioxide bubbles through an aqueous solution of Y (calcium hydroxide) , forming Z. (Calcium Bicarbonate) .
Ca (OH) 2 +2 CO 2 Excess   Ca HCO 3 2  
Z (Calcium Bicarbonate) returns to X after being gently heated (Calcium Carbonate) . Ca HCO 3 2 Δ CaCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O  
The aforementioned responses show that the compound
X   is CaCO 3   - Calcium carbonate
Y   is Ca (OH) 2   - Calcium hydroxide
Z   is Ca HCO 3 2   - Calcium bicarbonate
The molecule is calcium carbonate; hence option (1) is the correct response. CaCO 3  
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
