Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation: Organic compounds are defined as the compounds which have hydrogen and carbon atoms in it. They are also known as hydrocarbons.

From the given options:

Option 1:
Ca_3(PO_4)_2\text{ and }CO_2 are not organic compounds because these two compounds do not contain hydrogen element in it.

Option 2:
CaCl_2\text{ and }CaCN_2 are not organic compounds because these two compounds do not contain hydrogen and carbon elements in it.

Option 3:
CaSO_4 is not an organic compound because this compound do not contain hydrogen and carbon elements in it.

Option 4: All the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon elements in it and hence, all the compounds are organic compounds.

Therefore, the correct option is Option D.
