Solution

According to the reactivity series, the metals that come first are more reactive than the ones that are below them.
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
In the reactivity series, zinc (Zn) that lies above silver (Ag), displaces silver from its solution.
Therefore, this is a displacement reaction.
