Solution
The correct options are AAg+(aq)+Cl−→AgCl(aq) DHC2H3O2(l)+OH−(aq)→H2O(O)+C2H3O−2(aq) Option A and D are correct answers. Both are precipitation reaction.
When Ag+ reacts with Cl− we get a white precipitate of AgCl that is silver chloride.
Ag++Cl−=AgCl
When Acetic acid reacts with a base, let us suppose Calcium Hydroxide, that is Ca(OH)2, water is formed along with Calcium acetate which is a white colored precipitate. The reaction can be written as-
