Answer 1

The reaction modeled by the equation \( A + BC → B + AC \) is a **single replacement reaction**. In this type of reaction, an element (A) replaces another element (B) in a compound (BC), resulting in a new element (B) and a new compound (AC).

So, the correct answer is: **single replacement**.
