Solution

The correct option is A Exothermic reaction
Answer is option $A$ .
An $e x o t h e r m i c$ $r e a c t i o n$ is a chemical reaction that releases heat. For this experiment, the hydrogen peroxide undergoes a decomposition reaction. This means that the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into different components, oxygen gas (bubbles) and water. Heat is also a product of the decomposition reaction.
