Solution

The correct option is C neutralization reaction
Toothpaste is slightly basic in nature $(p H = 8)$ . The acid produced on the tooth enamel (commonly known as acid erosion) is neutralized by the toothpaste, cleaning your teeth. Hence, the usage of toothpaste is an example of a neutralization reaction.
