Option: 3

CaCO_3 \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+} + CO_3^- \: \: \: K_c = 8.4 \times 10^{-9}

As we have learned

The composition of equilibrium mixture when Kc > 1000 -

If Kc > 103,  products predominate over reactants i.e. if Kc is very large, the reaction proceeds nearly to completion.

- wherein

e.g. 

H_{2}+ Cl_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2HCl
 

K_{c}=4\times 10^{31}

 

H_{2}+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2HBr
 

K_{c}=5.4\times 10^{18}

 

  Reaction a,b and c have k_c value less tha 10 ^{3}  but reaction d has k_c value greater than 10 ^{3} we can say this reaction proceeds to completion 

Therefore, Option(4) is correct
