Solution

The correct option is B Different elements of a single compound undergoes oxidation and reduction.
Definition:
The chemical reactions in which a compound breaks up into two or more simple substances are called decomposition reactions.
Identification of decomposition reaction: Different elements of a single compound undergo oxidation and reduction.
for eg.
$2 S O_{3} (g) ⇋ 2 S O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)$
Here oxygen undergoes oxidation and sulphur undergoes reduction but both belong to the same compound $S O_{3} (g) .$
