Step-by-step solution

Hydrogen reacts with carbon monoxide in presence of cobalt catalyst to give methanol.

2H2(g)+CO(g)→Cobalt catalystCH3OH(l)2{H}_{2}\left(g\right) + CO\left(g\right)\overset{\text{Cobalt catalyst}}{\to}{CH}_{3}OH\left(l\right)

As the mixture of COCO and H2{H}_{2} is used for the synthesis of methanol and a number of hydrocarbons, it is called synthesis gas or syngas. The process of producing syngas from coal is called coal gasification.

C(s)+H2O(g)→1270KCO(g)+H2(g)C\left(s\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\overset{1270K}{\to}CO\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}\left(g\right)

The reaction of steam with hydrocarbons or coke at high temperature in presence of nickel catalyst gives a mixture of COCO and H2{H}_{2}, called water gas.

CH4(g)+H2O(g)→Ni1270KCO(g)+3H2(g){CH}_{4}\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\mathop{\to}_{Ni}^{1270K}CO\left(g\right) + 3{H}_{2}\left(g\right)

Electrolysis of brine solution produces H2{H}_{2} gas at cathode and Cl2{Cl}_{2} gas at anode.

Cathode: 2H2O(l)+2e−→H2(g)+2OH−(aq)2{H}_{2}O\left(l\right) + 2{e}^{-} \to {H}_{2}\left(g\right) + 2{OH}^{-}\left(aq\right)

Anode: 2Cl−(aq)→Cl2(g)+2e−2{Cl}^{-} ( aq ) \to {Cl}_{2} ( g ) + 2{e}^{-}

The overall reaction is 2Na+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)+2H2O(l)→Cl2(g)+H2(g)+2Na+(aq)+2OH−(aq)2{Na}^{+} ( aq ) + 2{Cl}^{-} ( aq ) + 2{H}_{2}O ( l ) \to {Cl}_{2} ( g ) + {H}_{2} ( g ) + 2{Na}^{+} ( aq ) + 2{OH}^{-} ( aq )

So, the correct answer is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
