Solution

The correct option is D salt
When acid reacts with base, salt and water are formed. $(A c i d + B a s e \to S a l t + W a t e r) .$
This is known as neutralization reaction as the base neutralizes the acid with which it reacts.
The salt formed during this reaction is neither acidic or basic but is neutral in nature, (unless one of the reacting species is stronger in nature than the other).
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
