• A. decomposition reaction
• B. combination reaction
• C. double displacement reaction
• D. neutralization reaction

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C double displacement reaction
D neutralization reaction

The reaction between acid and base produces salt and water, which is the example of neutralization reaction. This reaction follow mechanism of double displacement by displacing cation and anion from two different compounds.

$HCl+NaOH\to NaCl+H_{2}O$
