a-CO2 (supersaturated)
b-There are many, however judging from all the answers I'd guess CO2 is what your are looking for here.
c-CO2 (frozen)
d-CO2 (freon [or some other fluorocarbon] in the old days, but no more!)
e-CO2 (waste from yeast fermenting)
Just for fun, other decaffeinates are:Methylene Chloride, Ethyl Acetate, Carbon, and Triglycerides.
Get an "A".
