Answer:

B. They will not have the properties of sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

on the ph scale, 1 is acidic and 7 is the opposite. in the middle of the scale, is water which is neutral. neither acidic nor basic. hydrochloric acid is more acidic than not so let's just say that it is a 2 on the ph scale for now (even though that may not be right). and let's just say that sodium hydroxide is a 6 (again, even though that may not be right). when you mix the acidic and basic substances together, you will get a number in the middle or, a substance.

there is also no possible way to know what the new substance will look like since we don't have enough context/details.

i also took the quiz

hope this helps :)
