Text solutionVerified

The reaction between carbon and oxygen to form carbon dioxide can be classified as a combination reaction as carbon directly combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide

(C O_{2})

and gives off heat and light.

Decomposition reaction means breaking of a compound into simpler compounds or molecules on the application of heat or electricity. It is the reverse of a combination reaction.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
