Answer:

The correct answer is d double replacement reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

AgNO3 + NaCl ⇒ AgCl + NaNO3

In this reaction silver nitrate undergo chemical reaction with sodium chloride to generate sodium nitrate and silver chloride.

During this reaction NO3 of AgNO3 is replaced by Cl of NaCl resluting in the formation of AgCl or silver chloride.

on the other hand Cl of NaCl is replaced NO3 of AgNO3 resulting in the formation of NaNO3.

From this point of view it can be said that the given reaction is a double replacement reaction.
