Answer : The correct option is, (A) There is more than one reactant.

Explanation :

Synthesis reaction : Synthesis reaction are those reactions in which more than one reactants react to form a single product or a compound.

The general representation of the synthesis reaction is,


A+B\rightarrow AB

In this, A and B are the reactants and AB is the product.

For example : formation of calcium hydroxide from calcium oxide and water.


CaO(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(s)

Hence, the correct answer is, (A)
