The given chemical reaction involves magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) reacting with nitric acid (HNO₃). In this case, the reaction will yield magnesium nitrate and water. This type of reaction, where an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water, is classified as a double displacement reaction (also known as double replacement reaction or neutralization reaction).
Therefore, the correct response is:
double displacement
