Salts containing conjugate base of weaker acids will dissolve in \mathrm{HCl}.

Out of the given salts, \mathrm{BaCO_3} and \mathrm{ZnS} will dissolve in \mathrm{HCl}. The reactions are given below:

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{BaCO}_{3}+2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{BaCl}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\ &\mathrm{ZnS}+\underset{\text { (dil.) }}{2 \mathrm{HCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}} \end{aligned}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (2)
