Solution

The correct option is D Precipitation reaction
When barium chloride (BaCl2) reacts with ammonium sulphate [(NH4)2SO4], it forms white precipitate of barium sulphate (BaSO4) along with ammonium chloride(NH4Cl). There is an exchange of ions which results in the formation of product. So, the given reaction is a precipitation as well as a double displacement reaction. The reaction involved is:

BaCl2(aq)+(NH4)2SO4(aq)BaSO4(s)+2NH4Cl(aq)
