Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A synthesis reaction is the reaction in which two compounds or atoms combine together to result in the formation of a single compound.

For example,
CaO + CO_(2) \rightarrow CaCO_(3)

Thus, here CaO and
CO_(2) combine together to result in the formation of calcium carbonate compound. Therefore, it is a synthesis reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that the most likely products of Cao + co2 → CaCO3 reaction.
