I believe it is the last choice because it is a balanced equation so the number of reactant moles equals the product ones.
2H2+O2–>2H2O

Answer:

D.
2H_2 + O_2 --> 2H_2O

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know by the law of conservation of matter the total matter present initially and finally must be same in term of the amount or quantity.

So here we will check the amount of gases present before reaction and after reaction, if the amount remains same then in that case the matter will remain conserve always.

So here we will have the correct equation as

D.
2H_2 + O_2 --> 2H_2O

here in above equation number of hydrogen atoms are same (i.e. 4) on both sides as well as amount of oxygen atoms are also same (i.e. 2) on both sides of the reaction
