Dissolving calcite (calcium carbonate) in acids leads to release of carbon dioxide gas.

None is correct
Depends on the concentration of enzyme and substrate you'll have to look at the lab and do some math
H2CO3, or carbonic acid, can be formed by dissolving carbon dioxide (CO2) in water (H2O). When carbon dioxide is dissolved in water, carbonic acid "exists in equilibrium" with the water and carbon dioxide; meaning that the carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms involved tend to move around and keep equal concentrations of gas/water mixture and carbonic acid.
I suppose that you think to carbonic anhydrase.

I am on the same question

None is correct
Rain water + atmospheric CO2 gives Carbonic Acid - very weak but over time able to dissolve limestone.
They are called this because carbonates and bicarbonates are bases, and will except a hydrogen ion. This will result in the formation of carbonic acid (H2CO3) which spontaneously breaks down into water and carbon dioxide.
The acid is Carbonic Acid, formed by Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere dissolving into rain-water, and though very weak capable of dissolving limestone whose main constituent is calcium Carbonate. The stalactites are of calcite, crystallised calcium carbonate precipitated from that solution.
Yes. Carbonic acid is one of the main factors in the formation of limestone caves.
