The above reaction is an example of a 

Options:

Combination reaction

Double displacement reaction

Decomposition reaction

Displacement Reaction

Correct Answer:

Displacement Reaction

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. Displacement Reaction

Fe2O3 + 2Al → Al2O3 + 2Fe

The above reaction is an example of a displacement reaction.

Here, Aluminium is more reactive than Fe, therefore it will displace iron (Fe) from its oxide.

When more reactive metal displaces less reactive metal from its solution, it is termed as displacement reaction.
