Solution

The correct option is C alkaline
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid which on interaction with a strong base (NaOH) undergoes partial neutralisation reaction. The salt formed as a result is alkaline/basic in nature. Hence, the solution is alkaline (pH > 7).
Weak acid + Strong base Alkaline/Basic salt + Water
