AB → A + B

Chemical equation:

2NO₂ → 2O₂ + N₂

The given reaction is decomposition reaction. NO₂ decomposed to give nitrogen and oxygen. All other options are incorrect because,

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement:
