Answer:

D) double-displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

In a displacement reaction, one or more atoms replace one or more atoms of a given molecule to form a new one.

In this case, two atoms of K replace two atoms of H in the water molecules two form H2 and KOH.

Is double because two displacement happen in the global reaction equation.
