(N/A) $(i)$ Combination reaction: In this reaction,two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Here,calcium oxide $(CaO)$ reacts with carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ to form a single product,calcium carbonate $(CaCO_3)$.
$(ii)$ Displacement reaction: In this reaction,a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Here,sodium $(Na)$ displaces hydrogen from water $(H_2O)$ to form sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$ and releases hydrogen gas $(H_2)$.
