Solution

The correct option is A neutralization
When acids react with base, they neutralize each other's effect and thus it is called as neutralization reaction, energy is released during this reaction and hence it is exothermic in nature.
The products formed by this reaction are salt and water.
$A c i d + B a s e \to S a l t + W a t e r$
Hence,the correct answer is option (A).
