Question

could any body please tell me what is wrong in this table?

\begin{table}[!h]\label{Table}

Please exend your table code to complete small document, which we can test as it is ... — Zarko, Feb 27 '20 at 18:46
The stuff that is currently in your third column will never fit if you don't allow line breaks. — leandriis, Feb 27 '20 at 18:47
For the third, column, use a column type that allows linebreaks. Such column types are p, b, m or as you already used: X. I have added an answer to show how. — leandriis, Feb 27 '20 at 18:51

Based on some assumptions on your documentclass, the used packages and the desired output, here is my guess:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\newcolumntype{C}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}

Mine guessing is slightly different :-) :
