The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

C2H4 + 3O2 -> 2CO2 + 2H2O

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of ethene reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of carbon dioxide.

So, if 5.00 mol of ethene reacts, we can calculate the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced as follows:

5.00 mol C2H4 * (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C2H4) = 10.0 mol CO2

Therefore, the answer is d. 10.0 mol.
