Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D. a decomposition reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a brief description of the main chemical reactions.

a) A synthesis reaction is when two reactants are combined to form only one product.

b) A disynthesis reaction. I have not heard about this chemical reaction, I think it does not exist.

c) A combustion reaction is when an organic molecule reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

d) A decomposition reaction is when one reactant splits to form two or more products.
