Solution

The correct option is C heat of formation of CS2(l)
Heat of formation The standard heat of formation is defined as the amount of heat absorbed or evolved when one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements, each substance being in its normal physical state (gas, liquid or solid).
C(s)+2S(s)CS2(l)
In the above reaction, 1 mole of CS2 is formed from its constituent elements in their normal state. Hence, the heat change for the given reaction represents heat of formation.
