0.39

Explanation:

Recall that the moles of the elements in a compound can be found using their subscripts. CO_2 consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms; one molecule of CO_2 = 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen. This is the same for moles. 1 mole of CO_2 = 1 mole of C and 2 moles of O atoms (or 1 mole of O_2 molecules). If we have 0.39 moles of CO_2, then we will also have 0.39 moles of C.
