Answer:

b. reactants are two ionic compounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A double-replacement reaction is different from a single-replacement reaction because a double-replacement reaction is a reaction between two ionic compounds while in a single-replacement reaction one atom replace another atom. In addition, the product formed from a double-replacement reaction often precipitate from the given solution.
