`To most geologists, the term "acid test" means placing a drop of dilute (5% to 10%) hydrochloric acid on a rock or mineral and watching for bubbles of carbon dioxide gas to be released. The bubbles signal the presence of carbonate minerals such as calcite.` I believe the correct answer is the second choice. `The sample of calcite formed bubbles, showing the release of a gas.`

oh, okay thank you I didn't know that.
