The reaction can be written as:

F1F1F1S1 + F1F1F1O10E -> F1F1F1S1F1F1F10E

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we need to use the bond energy values of the bonds broken and formed during the reaction.

Bonds broken:
- 1 S-S bond in F1F1F1S1: 226 kJ/mol
- 2 O-H bonds in F1F1F1O10E: 2 x 464 kJ/mol = 928 kJ/mol

Bonds formed:
- 1 S-F bond in F1F1F1S1F1F1F10E: 327 kJ/mol
- 2 O-F bonds in F1F1F1S1F1F1F10E: 2 x 190 kJ/mol = 380 kJ/mol

Therefore, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is:

-226 kJ/mol - 928 kJ/mol + 327 kJ/mol + 380 kJ/mol = -447 kJ/mol

Since the given options are in kJ/mol, we need to divide this value by 1000 to get the answer in kJ/mol:

-447 kJ/mol / 1000 = -0.447 kJ/mol

Rounding up to the nearest tenth, we get -0.4 kJ/mol.

However, none of the given answer choices match this value. So we need to look for the closest answer choice.

Choice D is the closest, with a value of -4.6 kJ/mol, which is about 10 times larger than the calculated value. This difference may be due to rounding errors or differences in the bond energy values used. Therefore, the best choice is D.
