Solution

The correct option is C salt along with water.
When definite amounts of acid and base are mixed, they neutralise each other to form salt and water. For example: Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride and water. This can be represented as:

Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide $\to$ Sodium chloride + Water
