Solution

The correct option is C common salt
Neutralisation takes place when an acid and a base react with each other. This results in formation of salt and water as shown:
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
Out of the given options, caustic soda(NaOH), slaked lime (Ca(OH)₂), baking soda(NaHCO₃) are all bases and hence react with hydrochloric acid to give salt and water whereas common salt does not undergo neutralisation.
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
