Correct answers: synthesis and combustion.
Explanation: Two reactants (Mg and O2) combine to form a single product (MgO), so it's a synthesis (combination) reaction. It is also a combustion reaction — magnesium burns in oxygen, releasing heat and light to form an oxide. It is not a decomposition reaction.
