Solution

The correct options are
B 2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)
C N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)
D 2NO2(g)+N2O4(g)
We know,
ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT
So when, Δng=(npnr)g=0 ΔH becomes equal to ΔU.
for (a)
Δng=(npnr)g=0

for (b)
Δng=(npnr)g=2

for (c)
Δng=(npnr)g=2

for (d)
​​​​​​​Δng=(npnr)g=1

We can clearly see for (b), (c), (d)
​​​​​​​Δng=(npnr)g is not equal to 0
so, for these cases,
ΔH is not equal to ΔU.
