\(\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\mathrm{CdS}\\ \left(\mathrm{b}\right)\mathrm{PbS}\\ \left(\mathrm{c}\right)\mathrm{CuS}\\ \left(\mathrm{d}\right)\mathrm{ZnS}(\mathrm{cold})\\ \left(\mathrm{e}\right){\mathrm{PbCrO}}_{4}\)

a

(a), (c), and (e)

b

(a) and (e)

c

(b) and (d)

d

(a), (b), and (e)

✓ Correct answer: b)

(a) and (e)

Explanation

Yellow compounds: CdS (cadmium sulfide, yellow pigment) and PbCrO₄ (lead chromate, chrome yellow).

Non-yellow compounds: PbS (black), CuS (black), ZnS (cold) (white).

Thus, the correct option is (B) (a) and (e).
