The correct option is D Addition of carbon dioxide in slaked lime
From the given options, we can see that

(a) Burning of carbon in presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide(a single product) which is a combination reaction.

C+O2CO2

(b) Burning of magnesium ribbon which happens in presence of oxygen, produces magnesium oxide(a single product)

2Mg+O22MgO

(c) In slaking of lime, calcium hydroxide (a single product) is formed.

CaO+H2OCa(OH)2

(d) In addition to CO2 and slaked lime, two products are formed, i.e., CaCO3 and H2O which is not a combination reaction.

Ca(OH)2+CO2CaCO3+H2O
