Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The decomposition of KClO\(_3\) in the presence of MnO\(_2\) catalyst changes solid to gas, which is a sublimation process, as Oxygen gas is produced.

                   MnO\(_2\)         

2KClO\(_3\)       →    2KCl  +  3O\(_2\)

Decreasing the pressure on a solid causes it to turn into a gas through a process called sublimation. Thus, the effect of pressure on solid is negligible. Consequently, from the curve given in the question, it means pressure is constant as the decomposition reaction proceeds to completion.Therefore, the curve is represented by R.
