Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction that forms a precipitate, which can be used in fingerprinting, is "Double replacement."

In a double replacement reaction, two compounds in solution exchange ions to form two new compounds, one of which may be insoluble and form a solid precipitate. This precipitate can be used in various chemical tests, including fingerprinting, to identify the presence of specific ions or compounds in a solution.
