b
Double replacement reactions
Double replacement reactions typically involve the exchange of ions between two compounds without any change in the oxidation states of the elements involved. For a reaction to be classified as a redox reaction, there must be a change in the oxidation states of the elements due to the transfer of electrons. Since double replacement reactions do not involve electron transfer leading to a change in oxidation states, they are not considered redox reactions.
