Answer:

A. III only

Step-by-step explanation:

Combustion reaction:

Combustion reaction is the one in which substance are burn in the presence of oxygen and yield carbon dioxide and water.

2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂—— 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

The given reaction is the combustion reaction.

Other options are incorrect because,

Reaction 1 is synthesis reaction.

2SO₂ + O₂ → 2SO₃

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

A + B → AB

Reaction 2 is decomposition reaction.

H₂O₂ → H₂O + O₂

Decomposition reaction:

It is the reaction in which one reactant is break down into two or more product.

AB → A + B
