Answer:

The answer is a combustion reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

This chemical equation is a combustion reaction because
C_(4) H_(10) is combining with oxygen, thus releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.

It is also a combustion reaction because the products of carbon dioxide and water are formed.
