The definition of synthesis means to bring together, or to connect. The answer you chose is called a double replacement reaction, meaning that the pairs recombine. answer C is known as a single replacement reaction. The only one that is "building" or "bringing together" is answer choice B because you have two separate ions that come together.

It is b.) the answer you chose is for double displacement when cations and anions switch places. When your synthesizing something, your making it more complicated, bringing it together.
