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.
