double replacement

Answer 1

The equation \( A + BC \rightarrow B + AC \) represents a single replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, one element (A) replaces another element (B) in a compound (BC), leading to the formation of a new compound (AC) and the release of the replaced element (B).

So the correct answer is: single replacement.
