Solution

The correct option is A decomposition
The conversion of calcium carbonate ${(CaCO}_{3})$ to calcium oxide $(CaO)$ is an example of decomposition reaction. During the reaction, calcium carbonate decomposes on heating to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The reaction takes place as follows:

${CaCO}_{3} (s) Heat ⟶ CaO (s) + {CO}_{2} (g)$
