Answer is: d. 3,2,3.

Balanced chemical reaction: CH₃CH₂OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O.
CH₃CH₂OH is ethanol.
O₂ is molecule of oxygen.
CO₂ is carbon(IV) oxide.
H₂O is water.
There are same number of atoms (oxygen, carbon and hydrogen) on both side of balanced chemical reaction:
2 atoms of carbon.
6 atoms of hydrogen.
7 atoms of oxygen.
