Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The reaction follows the stoichiometry of 1 mole of oxygen reacting with 2 moles of hydrogen to produce 2 moles of water vapor. Given that all gases are under the same conditions, their volumes are directly proportional to the moles. Since 1 liter of oxygen reacts completely with 2 liters of hydrogen, the product volume will be 2 liters of water vapor, according to the stoichiometry of the reaction.
