\mathrm{C_s+O_2_g \rightarrow CO_2_g \: \: \: \: \Delta H= -393.5 KJmol^{-1}}

CO_{\left ( g \right )}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2} \: _{\left ( g \right )}\rightarrow CO_{2} \:_{(g)} \: \: \: \: \: \Delta H=-283.5 kJmol^{-1}

C_{\left ( s \right )}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2} \:_{\left ( g \right )}\rightarrow CO_{\left ( g \right )}

\therefore \Delta H= -393.5+283.5

            = -110.0\ kJmol^{-1}

Therefore, Option(4) is correct
