Answer is: it would replace letter C.

Halogen elements are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, they are nonmetals. In compound BC, letter C represents nonmetal, so nonmetal replaces nonmetal in single replacement reaction.

Single replacement reaction is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound.
