Solution

The correct option is C
$NaCl + H_{2} O$

Hydrochloric acid ( $HCl$ ) is an acid and sodium hydroxide ( $NaOH$ ) is a base. When an acid reacts with a base, they form salt and water. This reaction is known as neutralisation reaction.

When hydrochloric acid ( $HCl$ ) reacts with sodium hydroxide ( $NaOH$ ), they produce sodium chloride ( $NaCl$ ) and water ( $H_{2} O$ ). The reaction involved is:

$HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) \to NaCl (aq) + H_{2} O (l)$
