Answer:


D\text{ :13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to balance the equation of the reaction

To do this, we ensure that the atoms of each of the elements on both sides of the reaction is the same

We have that as follows:


2C_4H_(10)\text{ + 13O}_2\text{ }\rightarrow8\text{CO}_2\text{ + 10H}_2O

Thus, what we will be having as the coefficient of oxygen is 13
