Answer:

Decomposition

Step-by-step explanation:

Those reactions where one reactant gets broken or decomposed into two or more products that reaction is called decomposition reaction.

Now

Answer :-

H2CO3( AQ) gives H2O + CO2

This reaction is decomposition reaction

Decomposition reaction are those reactions in which reactant is breakdown in a form that it gives two or more than two products

All decomposition reaction are endothermic but all endothermic reactions are not decomposition reaction .

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
