Solution

The correct option is C (I) and (IV)
The reaction $C + O_{2} \to C O_{2}$ is a chemical reaction.
It is an exothermic reaction and also oxidation. Exothermic because it releases heat and oxidation because the carbon atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen.

It is a combustion reaction because combustion is the burning of a compound with evolution of a considerable amount of heat energy. In this reaction, $C$ (carbon) is burnt in $O_{2}$ ( Oxygen) and release heat energy. Therefore, this reaction is a combination reaction and a combustion reaction. Thus, option " C" is correct.
