A SiCSiC and CO2C{{O}_{2}}
B SiOSiO and COCO
C SiCSiC and COCO
D SiSi and CO2C{{O}_{2}}

Explanation

Solution

Silicon dioxide, often known as silica, is a silicon oxide with the chemical formula SiO2. It is most typically found as quartz in nature and in diverse living creatures. Silica is a key component of sand in many regions of the world. Silica is one of the most complicated and plentiful material families, appearing as both a mineral component and a manufactured product. Fused quartz, fumed silica, silica gel, and aerogels are all good examples. It's used in structural materials, microelectronics (as an electrical insulator), and food and pharmaceuticals as a component.

Complete answer:
A single-displacement reaction, also known as a single replacement reaction or an exchange reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is replaced by another.
It can be expressed in the following way: A+BCAC+BA+BC\to AC+B
A single displacement reaction, also known as a single replacement reaction, is a kind of oxidation-reduction chemical process in which an ion or element moves out of a molecule and is replaced by another.
Carbon reacts with silicon dioxide. On their own, the carbon and oxygen (in silicon dioxide) combine to produce carbon dioxide and silicon.
Because carbon is more reactive than silicon, it's termed a displacement reaction. The oxygen would combine with carbon, the most reactive chemical.
Hence SiO2+CΔSi+CO2Si{{O}_{2}}+C\xrightarrow{\Delta }Si+C{{O}_{2}}
Hence option d is correct
Silicon is a chemical element with the atomic number 14 and the symbol Si. It is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor that is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic sheen. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium are below it. It is relatively unreactive.

Note:
Carbon dioxide can be used to put out fires by saturating the area around the flame with the gas. It does not extinguish the flame, but instead deprives it of oxygen by shifting it. Some fire extinguishers, particularly those suited for electrical fires, contain a pressurised liquid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are effective on small flammable liquid and electrical fires, but they are ineffective on larger combustible fires because they do not significantly cool the burning substances, and when the carbon dioxide disperses, they can catch fire when exposed to atmospheric oxygen. They're most commonly found in server rooms.
