Fireworks Which Give Off Bright Flashes of White Light Often $\rightarrow$

Fireworks which give off bright flashes of white light often contain magnesium metal.When the magnesium burns in the presence of oxygen, it forms solid magnesium oxide, and emits a bright white light.Write a complete, balanced equation for this reaction.

A) Mg(s) + O(g) $\rightarrow$ MgO(s)
B) 4Mg(s) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ 2Mg₂O(s)
C) 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ 2MgO(s)
D) Mg(s) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ MgO₂(s)
E) Mg(s) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ MgO(s)
