Answer is: A. Vinegar and soda.

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base (in this example soda or some other base) react quantitatively with each other.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and soda:

CH₃COOH(aq) + Na⁺(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is a salt.

Answer;

A.Vinegar and soda

Step-by-step explanation;

-A salt is a substance that contains a cation which is a metal ion or an ammonium ion and an anion derived from an acid. It is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.

-For example; a reaction between a soluble base sodium hydroxide and an acid dilute sulfuric acid results to the formation of salt sodium salt. There are also other methods of generating a cell apart from neutralization, such as precipitation reactions and direct synthesis among others,
