Solution

The correct option is C displacement reaction
More reactive metal (zinc in this equation) displaces a less reactive element (hydrogen in this equation) from the compound. The given reaction is therefore a displacement reaction. So, option B is correct.

Decomposition reactions are those in which a compound breaks down into simpler substances. Combination reaction is one in which two or more simpler elements combine to form a larger compound. Synthesis reaction is a general term that refers to reactions where two different atoms or molecules interact to form a different molecule or compound, usually to synthesize a new chemical substance.
