The generalized chemical equation \( A + BC \rightarrow AC + B \) represents a **single replacement** reaction.
In this type of reaction, an element (A) replaces another element (B) in a compound (BC) to form a new compound (AC), along with the displaced element (B).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**D. single replacement**.
