Answer : The correct option is, (D)
Explanation :
(A)
This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.
(B)
This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.
(C)
This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.
(D)
This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.
Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.
In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).
Hence, the correct option is, (D)

Explanation:
I have drawn three possible structures of ZX2. We have to remember that the shapes of molecules could be predicted on the basis of the Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
The number of electrons on the valence shell of the central atom determines the shape of the molecule. We have also been told that X is not hydrogen.
If the two X atoms are arranged at a bond angle of 180 degrees, we could have either structure I or II. We will have these structures if the Z atom is sp2 hybridized.
Similarly, if the Z atom is sp3 hybridized, we may have structure III in which the molecule is bent with a bond angle less than 109 degrees. This may result from the presence of a lone pair on Z.
Note that all these structures obey the octet rule.
