Solution

The correct option is B Cl2(g)
The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the element in its standard state is taken as zero. Since the standard state of Cl2 is gas, so it's ΔfH=0.

Bromine and water exist in the liquid state at 298 K. Methane is not an elemental species.

Hence, the correct option is B.
