Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Elements C and H are equal on blue sides.

For O,

2 on left, 4 on right

Just multiply O2 (on left) by 2 to balance the equation

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the equation right now. In order to balance it, the number of each element on both sides needs to be the same.

Right now, the left side has:

- 1 C

- 4 H

- 2 O

The right side has:

- 1 C

- 4 H

- 4 O

We see that the number of O on each side is not the same; we need to make the number of O on the left 4. So, just add a 2 to the
O_2, as that will produce 4 O.

Hope this helps!
