The correct statement is:

Not all reactions fit into a category, and some reactions can fit into more than one category.

This acknowledges that while many reactions can be classified into specific types (such as synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, etc.), there are some reactions that do not neatly fit into any one category and some that can be categorized in multiple ways.
