Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical reaction in which a single element displaces another element from a compound the it is known as a single displacement reaction.

Aluminium being more reactive than silver will be able to displace silver from silver chloride.

The chemical reaction will be as follows.


2Al + 3AgCl_(2) \rightarrow 2AlCl_(3) + 3Ag

Therefore, we can conclude that
AlCl_3 and Ag products are formed when aluminum is added to a silver chloride solution.
