Solution

The correct option is A Neutral
Weak acid + Strong base $\to$ Basic salt + Water

Strong acid + Weak base $\to$ Acidic salt + Water

Strong Acid + Strong Base $\to$ Neutral salt + Water

Since, hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and sodium hydroxide is a strong base, therefore, their reaction produces neutral salt.
