Solution

The correct option is C $AB \to A+B$
In a decomposition reaction, a single compound splits into two or more simple substances. For example, silver chloride decomposes into silver and chlorine on heating. The reaction for the same is given below:

$2 AgCl(s)^{Sunlight - ----- \to} 2 Ag(s) + {Cl}_{2} (g)$

So, the general representation of a decomposition reaction is $AB \to A + B$
