Solution

The correct statement about the reaction is (b) It is a decomposition reaction and endothermic in nature.

Here's why:

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. This is exactly what's happening in the reaction provided: KClO3 is breaking down into KCl and O2.

The reaction is also endothermic in nature. Endothermic reactions are those that absorb heat from the surroundings. In the given reaction, heat is being supplied (as indicated by the 'Heat' above the arrow in the reaction) to break down the KClO3, which means it's absorbing heat, making it an endothermic reaction.

So, the correct answer is (b) It is a decomposition reaction and endothermic in nature.
