as you can see in the picture we have +ΔH so that means for this reaction we need to GET heat. so the answer is A. endothermic :))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Answer: The given reaction is a type of endothermic reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 types of reaction classified on the basis of heat released or absorbed:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the heat is released because the energy of products is less than the energy of the reactants.
\Delta H for these reactions is negative.

2. Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, heat is absorbed by the reactants because the energy of the products is more than the energy of the reactants.
\Delta H for these reactions if positive.

In the given question, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. Hence, this is considered as a type of endothermic reaction.
