The correct answer is:
C

22.4 L methane reacts with of oxygen to give of and of water

Since 1 mole methane and 2 mole oxygen , and 2 mole water
From the balanced reaction: One mole(or 1 molecule or ) of reacts with 2 moles (or 2 molecules or ) of oxygen to give one mole (or 1 molecule or ) of and 2 mole (or 2 molecules or ) of water.
For the gaseous system at STP:
22.4 methane reacts with of oxygen to give and of water.
