Answer:

Double replacement.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given reaction, there is not synthesis of compound.

The decomposition reactions are those in which a compound dissociates into simpler molecules or ions.

So the given reaction is not decomposition even.

In single replacement reactions, there is replacement of one group from a compound to other compound or element or ion.

Here two groups are being replaced (sulfate and nitrate) so the given reaction will be classified as double replacement.
