Solution

The correct option is B enthalpy of combustion
Enthalpy of combustion is defined as the energy change of any reaction involving 1 mole of species reacting with sufficient oxygen.
Since, in above reaction 1 mole of C2H4 is reacting with sufficient O2 to form CO2 and H2O.
Hence, answer is option B.
