Precipitates are in option a and b

Explanation:

These are the chemical reactions:

a. Pb²⁺ + CO₃⁻² → PbCO₃ ↓

b. Pb²⁺ + 2I⁻ → PbI₂ ↓

c. Fe³⁺ + 3Cl⁻ → FeCl₃

d. Cu²⁺ + SO₄⁻² → CuSO₄

e. Al³⁺ + 3Cl⁻ → AlCl₃

Iodides, chlorides and bromides are soluble except the ones with Ag, Pb and Hg

All the carbonates are insolubles except the alkali carbonates.

All the sulfates are solubles except the one that are formed with Group II (Ba, Ca and Mg)
