Answer: Double Replacement

Step-by-step explanation:

This is double replacement.

KBr + AgNO₃ ⇒ AgBr + KNO₃

On the left side K is paired with Br. On the right side K is paired with NO₃.

On the left side Ag is paired with NO₃. On the right side Ag is paired with Br.

The cations, K and Ag, "switched partners" in the reaction.
