    The balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of carbon is,

    C + O2 - - - > CO2

    6 grams of carbon is equal to 0.5 mols of carbon. This also corresponds to 0.5 mols of carbon dioxide. Using the ideal gas law through STP,

    V = nRT / P

    where R is the universal gas constant, 0.0821 L. atm / mol K, T is 273 K and P is 1 atm. Substituting the known values to the equation,

    V = (0.5 mols) (0.0821 L. atm/mol K) (273 K) / 1 atm = 11.2 L

    Thus, the answer to the question is letter B.
