Chemical reaction B, because the product is a compound
Explanation:
A synthesis or combination reaction is that reaction that involves combination of two or more reactants to form a single product. The two or more reactants are often elements that chemically combine to form a single compound.
In this question, two chemical reactions are involved in which chemical reaction A has 1 reactants and 3 products while chemical reaction B has 2 reactants and 1 product. Based on the explanation above, the reaction B correctly identifies the synthesis reaction because the single product is a compound.
Out of the options, the best indicator is a color change since it is the only one that can't really be blamed on a physical change. you will eventually notice that during qualitative labs and some quantitative labs, usually the thing that you are looking for is either color change or the production of a precipitate to indicate the presence of a chemical reaction
