Answer:

Displacement reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

A displacement reaction is a reaction where a more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive one.

Reactivity decreases down group 17. So Chlorine, being the more reactive halogen, substitutes in the place of Br which is less reactive.
