Answer:

D)Hydrogen is the limiting reactant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The limitant reactant is the reactant in the reaction that is consumed up and because of that the reaction can not continue, in this case there is no limiting reactant since both elements are found in excess, and the reaction is in fact a synthesis reaction since it is combining two elements into one compound.
