Single replacement

Explanation:-

The definition for single displacement reaction is the reaction where an element must displace another element from it's compound

The symbol for lead is Pb

The formula for lead sulfate is PbSO4.

The formula for sulfuric acid is H2SO4.

The formula for Hydrogen gas is H2.

The balanced chemical equation is

Pb + H2SO4 --> PbSO4 + H2

Here we can see that an element Pb is reacting with a compound H2SO4 and takes the place of H2 to form PbSO4.

Hence this is an example of single displacement reaction.

the answer would be a
