Answer:

D. Both A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

When balancing a redox equation, you'll first of all check for the oxidation equation, balance the number of moles and then the charges and move next to reduction equation and do the same. Then add up both half-equations to give the overall redox equation. The subscripts on each molecule isn't really required separately since they'll be balanced during the half equations.
