Solution

The correct option is A C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
When one molecule of glucose is burnt in presence of excess oxygen then it is converted to 6 molecules of carbon dioxide gas and 6 molecules of water vapor. The balanced chemical equation is C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)6CO2+6H2O. So the correct option is B
