Verified Answer :

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A double-replacement reaction happens when atoms in one compound switch places with atoms in another compound.  It is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places. Hope this answers the question.
