    B. - 99 kJ.

    Explanation:

    We have the following information:

    1. C (s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g);

    ΔH = - 393 kJ

    2. 2CO (g) + O₂ → 2CO₂ (g);

    ΔH = - 588 kJ

    Using Hess's Law, Our target equation has C (s) on the left hand side, so we re-write equation 1:

    1. C (s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g);

    ΔH = - 393 kJ

    So, we reverse equation 2 and divide by 2, we have equation 3:

    3. CO₂ (g) → CO (g) + ½O₂;

    ΔH = + 294 kJ

    That is, change the sign of ΔH and divide by 2. Then we add equations 1 and 3 and their ΔH values.

    This gives:

    C (s) + ½O₂ (g) → CO (g);

    ΔH = + 294 - 393 kJ

    = - 99 kJ

    The standard enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide is - 99 kJ/mol.
