Detailed Solution

Without a catalyst, heating potassium chlorate causes it to change into potassium perchlorate, which, when heated further, breaks down into oxygen and potassium chloride.

The reaction can be expressed as:

4KClO33KClO4+KCl KClO4KCl+2O2

However, in the reaction below:

2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g)

Hence, the correct option is (D).
