Answer:

$\boxed{\text{B.}}$

Explanation:

B.

$\rm C$_7$H_{16}$ + 11O$_2$ $\longrightarrow \,$ 7CO$_2$ + 8H$_2$O$

BALANCED. 7C, 16H, and 22O on each side of equation.

A.

$\rm C$_7$H$_{16}$ + 5O$_2$ $\longrightarrow \,\rm 6CO$_2$ + 4H$_2$O$

NOT BALANCED. 7C on left and 6C on right.

C.

$\rm C$_7$H$_{16}$ + 14O$_2$ $\longrightarrow \,$ 7CO$_2$ + 5H$_2$O$

NOT BALANCED. 16H on left and 10H on right.

D.

$\rm C$_7$H$_{16}$ + 22O$_2$ $\longrightarrow \, $ 14CO$_2$ + 16H$_2$O$

NOT BALANCED. 7C on left and 14C on right.
