Solution
The correct option is C endothermic.
Chemical decomposition is the breakdown of a single entity into two or more fragments.
Decomposition reactions are usually endothermic because they involve breaking of bonds.
Breaking bonds requires an input of energy, while forming bonds releases energy. Since a decomposition reaction involves breaking bonds of a large molecule to form two or more smaller molecules, more bonds are broken than are formed, which means that the reaction will require a net input of energy making it endothermic.
