Answer:

Combination or synthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction is a combination or synthesis reaction in which two or more substances combines to give a single product.

In such a reaction there is formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements.

The driving force for such reactions is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

So, this is a combination reaction.
