Solution
The correct option is CXe(g)+2F2(g)→XeF4(g) The heat of formation is defined as the heat generated or absorbed when the compound is formed form its component elements in their standard state.
By this defination, B and D are clearly not correct as the starting materials are compounds.
A is not correct, since ozone is not correct standard state of oxygen.
