Best Answer

Explanation :

A reaction in which more reactive element displaces less reactive element is known as displacement reaction.

While a  reaction in which mutual exchange of ions or molecules takes place in between compounds is known as Double displacement reaction.

BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq)→ BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl (aq)

Here ions  are  mutually exchanged  by each other so it is a double displacement reaction.

Also this reaction leads to the formation of white precipitate BaSO4 So it is also a precipitation reaction. 

Final Answer : Hence the correct answer is (D) (b) & (d).
