B.

Explanation:

Combustion is the process of heating an element in the presence of
Di-Oxygen to produce water#(H_2O)#, carbon di-oxide#(CO_2)# & Heat + Light.
so, #C(s)+O_2(g) rarr CO_2(g)# is taking place in the presence of oxygen & other equations are taking place in the absence of oxygen.
so, correct answer is B.
