Answer:

The correct answer is water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The neutralization reaction occurs when acid and base solutions react, producing water and a neutral ionic compound called salt. The word "salt" describes any ionic compound whose cation comes from a base (e.g. Na+ of NaOH) and whose anion comes from an acid (e.g. Cl- of HCl), while the rest of the elements react by forming water (H20).

Have a nice day!
