Solution

The correct option is D $C a C O_{3}$
The given reaction is a double displacement reaction since the reactants $K_{2} C O_{3}$ and $C a (O H)_{2}$ are exchanging their ions $C O_{3}^{2 -}$ and $O H^{-}$ with each other in order to form $C a C O_{3}$ and $K O H$ as products.

This is also a precipitation reaction since the $C a C O_{3}$ formed here is an insoluble white coloured precipitate.
