Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the nature of a Bronsted acid-base reaction

A Bronsted acid-base reaction involves the transfer of protons (H\(^+\)) between reactants. In this type of reaction, a Bronsted acid donates a proton, and a Bronsted base accepts a proton.

Step 2: Evaluate the given options
  • Electron transfer: This is characteristic of redox reactions, not Bronsted acid-base reactions.
  • Proton transfer: This correctly describes the mechanism of a Bronsted acid-base reaction.
  • Precipitation reaction: This involves the formation of a solid from a solution, which is not related to proton transfer.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Proton transfer}}\)
