Solution

This question involves identifying the precipitate and its color in a double displacement reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO₃) and sodium bromide (NaBr).

The reaction is: AgNO3+NaBrAgBr+NaNO3. The precipitate (↓) formed is silver bromide (AgBr).

A key concept is the characteristic colors of silver halide precipitates. Silver bromide (AgBr) is known to be pale yellow or cream-colored.

Final Answer: Yellow
