Solution

The correct options are
A Precipitation reaction
B Double displacement reaction
Balanced equation for the reaction is:

$K C l (s) + A g N O_{3} (a q) \to A g C l (s) + K N O_{3} (a q)$

It is a double displacement reaction as both reactants exchange ions to form new products. Also, it is a precipitation reaction as white precipitates of silver chloride(AgCl) are formed.

Hence, the correct options are $A$ and $B$
