Solution

The correct option is D

(iv)


In a double displacement reaction, the positive ions (cations) and the negative ions (anions) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.
In the equation,
CoCl2(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)CoCO3(aq)+2NaCl(aq)
the anions Cl & CO23 swap their places and form CoCO3 & 2NaCl,
hence it is an example of double displacement reaction.
