Answer: A BaBr2

Step-by-step explanation:

On the left side of the equation, the superscript 2 is applied to both sodium AND bromine. That means you need 2 bromine on the right. Also on the left side, the 2 AFTER chlorine only applies to the chlorine so there’s only one barium. What you have on the left has to balance with what you have on the right.
