The correct answer is: -632 kJ mol-1

Standard enthalpy of combustion is defined as the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is completely burnt in oxygen with all the reactants and products in their standard state under standard conditions (298K and 1 bar pressure)

ΔHr=ΔHCreactant-ΔHCproduct

=3ΔHccC2H2,g-ΔHcC6H6,l

=3×-1300--3268

=-3900+3268=-632 kJ/mole
