Is this equation completely balanced?

2C8H8 + 25O2 = 8CO2 + 18H2O

A. No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal.

B. No, because the number of oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal.

C. Yes, because all of the coefficients are in their lowest whole number ratio.

D. No, because the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal.

E. Yes, because the number of products is equal to the number of reactants.
