    A + BC - --> AB + C

    So here one reactant (A) is accepting a group which is being given by another compound (BC) however the A is not giving any group / element or ion

    So this single displacement

    Similarly in the given reaction

    the anion OH - is only being replaced

    The element Ca accepts OH - and H2O loses the same group to form new element H2

    So the correct answer is

    Single replacement also known as single displacement.
