    A. 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

    Explanation:

    In a decompostion reaction one single substances decomposes into two or more substances.

    The general form for a decompostion reaction is: AB → A + B

    In the reaction 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂, the reactant, which is the compound shown on the left side of the reaction, i. e. KClO₃ will disappear and two new substances, the products, shown on the right side of the equation, will appear.

    So, it is said that KClO₃ decomposes into KCl and O₂.
