Which among the following represents the reaction of formation of the product?

The $\Delta H_f^o$ for $CO_{2(g)}$,$CO_{(g)}$ and $H_2O_{(g)}$ are $-393.5$,$-110.5$ and $-241.8 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The standard enthalpy change (in $kJ$) for the reaction $CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)} \to CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)}$ is

On the basis of the thermochemical equations:
$H_{2}O_{(g)} + C_{(s)} \to CO_{(g)} + H_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H = 131 \ kJ$
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H = -282 \ kJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \to H_{2}O_{(g)} \quad \Delta H = -242 \ kJ$
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H = X \ kJ$
