According to the given information,

3 parts of carbon react with 8 parts of oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

We can write this in the form of a ratio as:

Carbon : Oxygen = 3 : 8

Let's use this ratio to find out how much carbon is required to react with 1100 g of oxygen.

Carbon : Oxygen = 3 : 8

We know the amount of oxygen (8.0 parts) that reacts with 3.0 parts of carbon.

So, we can set up a proportion:

8.0 parts of oxygen/3.0 parts of carbon = 1100 g of oxygen/x g of carbon

Solving for x, we get:

x = (3.0/8.0) * 1100 g of oxygen

x = 412.5 g

Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get:

x = 413 g

Therefore, the answer is D) 413 g.
