The common substance among the product(s) of the first equation and among the reactant(s) in the second equation is H2O(g). We can eliminate that as an intermediate. The overall chemical equation will thus be:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l),

which is the first answer choice.

In essence, all you’re doing here is swapping water vapor for liquid water.
