Which skeleton equation is correct for this question below:?

Calcium carbonate reacts with sulfur dioxide gas and oxygen gas to produce solid calcium sulfate and carbon dioxide gas. The correct skeleton equation for this reaction is:

ACaCO(s)+SO(g)+O(g) --> CaSO(s)+CO(g)
BCaCO2(s)+SO2(g)+O3(g)-->CaSO2(s)+CO2(g)
CCaCO3(s)+SO2(g)+O2(g) --> CaSO4(s)+ CO2(g)
DCa(CO3)2(s)+SO2(g)+O2(g)-->Ca2SO4(s)+CO2(g)

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C.

Calcium carbonate  = CaCO3
sulfur dioxide = SO2
oxygen = O2
calcium sulfate = CaSO4
Carbon dioxide = CO2

The correct skeleton equation for the reaction would be CaCO3(s)+SO2(g)+O2(g) --> CaSO4(s)+ CO2(g).
