Which skeleton equation is correct for this question below:?

Calcium carbonate reacts with sulfur dioxide gas and oxygen gas to produce solid calcium sulfate and carbon dioxide gas. The correct skeleton equation for this reaction is:

A. CaCO (s) + SO (g) + O (g) - - > CaSO (s) + CO (g)

B. CaCO2 (s) + SO2 (g) + O3 (g) - - >CaSO2 (s) + CO2 (g)

C. CaCO3 (s) + SO2 (g) + O2 (g) - - > CaSO4 (s) + CO2 (g)

D. Ca (CO3) 2 (s) + SO2 (g) + O2 (g) - - >Ca2SO4 (s) + CO2 (g)

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C.

Calcium carbonate = CaCO3

sulfur dioxide = SO2

oxygen = O2

calcium sulfate = CaSO4

Carbon dioxide = CO2

The correct skeleton equation for the reaction would be CaCO3 (s) + SO2 (g) + O2 (g) - - > CaSO4 (s) + CO2 (g).
