Synthesis.

Explanation:

In simple terms, a synthesis reaction is the name given to a reaction that consumes two or more reactants and produces a single product.

In this case, nitrogen gas, $N_{2}$ $"N"_2$ , and oxygen gas, $O_{2}$ $"O"_2$ , react to form nitric oxide, $NO$ $"NO"$ . Notice that two reactants are used up and a single product is formed $\to$ $->$ a synthesis reaction took place.
