Solution

The correct option is A sodium hydroxide
Acetic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to give a salt. This is an example of a neutralisation reaction because acetic acid, as the name suggests, is an acid ( a weak acid); Sodium hydroxide is a strong base.

$C H_{3} C O O H + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O$

Sodium acetate is the salt of a weak acid and a strong base.
