The question requires us to specify the products obtained when an acid reacts with a base.

A reaction between an acid and a base is called neutralization reaction, where a salt and water are formed. The salt formed is always related to the cation / anion contained in the base / acid.

acid + base -> salt + water

Therefore, the option to answer the question is (c), "a salt and water".
