B.


Neutral


It balaces each other out, so it is neither Basic nor Compound, so it stays as a neutral solution.

Answer : The correct option is, (B) A neutral solution

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product that means it reacts to give a neutral solution.

For example :

When sodium hydroxide base react with hydrochloric acid then it react to gives sodium chloride and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:


HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

Thus, when acids and bases in a solution balance each other out, the solution is said to be, a neutral solution.
