    2C (s) + 2H2O (g) → CO2 (g) + CH4 (g) (option a)

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    C (s) + 2H2O (g) → 2CO (g) + 2H2 (g)

    CO (g) + H2O (g) → CO2 (g) + H2 (g)

    CO (g) + 3H2 (g) → CH4 (g) + H2O (g)

    Step 2: balance the reactions

    2C (s) + 2H2O (g) → 2CO (g) + 2H2 (g)

    CO (g) + H2O (g) → CO2 (g) + H2 (g)

    CO (g) + 3H2 (g) → CH4 (g) + H2O (g)

    Step 3: Summing the reactions

    2C (s) + 2H2O (g) + CO (g) + H2O (g) + CO (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2CO (g) + 2H2 (g) + CO2 (g) + H2 (g) + CH4 (g) + H2O (g)

    Step 4: Simplify the reaction

    2C (s) + 3H2O (g) + 2CO (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2CO (g) + 3H2 (g) + CO2 (g) + CH4 (g) + H2O (g)

    2C (s) + 2H2O (g) → CO2 (g) + CH4 (g) = option a
