a. synthesis/combination
b. decomposition
c. single replacement
d. double replacement
e. combusbustion

Explanation:

A double - replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places. In the given reaction \(AlCl_{3}+MgBr_{2}\to AlBr_{3}+MgCl_{2}\), the chloride (\(Cl^{-}\)) and bromide (\(Br^{-}\)) ions are exchanging their positions between \(Al^{3 +}\) and \(Mg^{2+}\) ions.

Answer:

D. double replacement
