Solution

The correct option is B Neutralization reaction
The acidic oxides react with a base to give salt and water. Sodium hydroxide reacts with protic acids to produce water and the corresponding salts.

For example, when sodium hydroxide reacts with $H C l, N a C l$ salt and water is formed.
Hence the reaction is neutralization reaction due to a formation of salt and water.

$N a O H + H C l \to H_{2} O + N a C l$
