Solution

The correct options are
C double displacement
D CaCO3
The given reaction is a double displacement reaction since the reactants K2CO3 and Ca(OH)2 are exchanging their ions CO23 and OH with each other in order to form CaCO3 and KOH as products.

This is also a precipitation reaction since the CaCO3 formed here is an insoluble white coloured precipitate.
