See the explanation.
Explanation:
Synthesis reactions occur when two or more simpler substances (atoms, ions, molecules) react to produce a single product.

Decomposition reactions occur when a single compound is broken down into simpler products.
Potassium chlorate decomposes to produce potassium chloride and oxygen.
