Solution

The correct option is B
Neutralisation
The products formed on mixing an acid and a base are salt and water. The reaction in which
an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water is called neutralisation.
A neutralisation reaction can be represented as:
Acid + Base ———–> Salt + Water

As we know that non-metals react with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
Hence this reaction is an example of a neutralization reaction in which an acid (carbon dioxide) reacts with a base (calcium hydroxide) to form salt and water.
Hence the correct option is A.
