Solution

The correct option is B HI(aq)
Neutralisation reaction takes place between an acid and base to form salt and water.
Silver hydroxide (AgOH) is a base that reacts with hydroiodic acid (HI) to give silver iodide (AgI) and water.

HI(aq) + AgOH(s) AgI(s) + H2O(l)

However, sodium iodide (NaI) and potassium iodide (KI) are salts and hence cannot react with a base.
