Solution

The correct option is B decomposition reaction
A chemical volcano is an example of a decomposition reaction.
When ammonium dichromate is heated at high temperatures, it decomposes to chromium oxide, nitrogen gas, and steam, so this is called a chemical volcano.
reaction:- (NH4)2Cr2O7Cr2O3+N2+4H2O

The correct option is B.
