Answer:

The correct answer is - exothermic reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exothermic reactions are the reaction that releases energy into the surrounding and does not require energy to take place due to the total energy of the reactants the total energy of the products is more than tthe total energy of the products. It releases energy usually as heat or light with the product.

In the given condition of room temperature mixing two substance produces hot products, fits with the explanation given above, therefore, it is an exothermic reaction.
