Answer 1

The reaction involving copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is an example of a single displacement reaction. In this type of reaction, one element displaces another in a compound. In this case, copper will displace silver from silver nitrate.

So the correct answer is:

single displacement
