Answer:

Option B. A reaction that removes essentially all H+ and OH-

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction involving acid and base to form salt and water only. In this reaction, the H+ from the acid is completely neutralize by the OH-

From the base. Hence, we can a neutralization reaction is a reaction that removes the H+ and OH- from reactant to form water. This is illustrated below

NaOH + HCl —> NaCl + H2O

Ionically:

OH- + H+ —> H2O

From the above, we see clearly that the reaction removed the H+ from the acid and OH- from the base to form water.
