Answer: Double Replacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Two elements are being switched around in this reaction, H and K, so it is a double replacement. The K from potassium hydroxide replaces the H in hydrobromic acid, becoming potassium bromide, and the H from hydrobromic acid replaces the K in potassium hydroxide, becoming water.
