"


Correct answer:  (2) double displacement 

Explanation: When barium chloride reacts with sodium sulfate, a white precipitate of barium sulphate and sodium chloride salt is formed.

The chemical equation for the reaction is given below:

$BaCl_2 + Na_2SO_4 → 2NaCl + BaSO_4$

This is an example of a double displacement reaction.
