    Option A,+4

    Explanation:

    Oxidation state of any element is the sum of oxidation of all elements = 0

    Here we need to find oxidation no of carbon and consider oxidation no of carbon as X and oxidation number of oxygen is - 2

    Then X+2 (-2) = 0 (since 2 oxygen atoms are there in CO2)

    X-4=0

    X=+4
