In the process of extraction of gold,
Roasted gold ore `+CN^(-)+H_2Ooverset(o_2)rarr[X]+OH^(-)`
`[X]+Znrarr[Y]+Au`
Identify the complexes [X] and [Y]

A

`X=[Au(CN)_(2)]^(-)=Y=[Zn(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`

B

`X=[Au(CN)_(4)]^(3-)=Y=[Zn(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`

C

`X=[Au(CN)_(2)]^(-)=Y=[Zn(CN)_(5)]^(4-)`

D

`X=[Au(CN)_(4)]^(-)=Y=[Zn(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`
