Option 1
Since it’s Carbon + Hsub2 with a coefficient of 2 this means there’s already 2 hydrogen atoms, the coefficient of 2 make it 4 because of 2x2. With this being known you can look at the products CHsub4 which would be drawn as a Carbon atom with 4 hydrogen atoms connected to it on all 4 sides like in option 1.
