the chemical reaction is as follows:


2H_2(x)+O_2(y)\rightarrow2H_2O(z)

Hydrogen is taken as gas, oxygen is also gas, and water is in liquid form.

Thus, x represents gas, y represents gas, and z represents liquid.


\begin{gathered} x\rightarrow g \\ y\rightarrow g \\ z\rightarrow l \end{gathered}

Thus, the correct option is (c).
