    5. First option

    Explanation:

    The number of atoms in the reactant, must equal the number of atoms in the product, for each element

    C + 2SO₂ → CS₂ + 4CO

    In product side you have 1 C from the sulfure and 4 C from the CO.

    As you have 5C in the product side, you need 5C in the reactant side.

    the balanced equation is: 5C + 2SO₂ → CS₂ + 4CO
