Solution

The correct option is B reversible
A reversible reaction is a reaction that can be reversed, i.e., the products can be converted back to the reactants.

For example: $P C l_{5} ⇆ P C l_{3} + C l_{2}$ .
In the above reaction the forward reaction is the decomposition of $P C l_{5}$ and the backward reaction is the combination of $P C l_{3}$ and $C l_{2}$ . This reaction takes place in both the directions.
