Solution

The correct option is C NaHSO4
Acid salt is a term for a class of salts formed by the partial neutralization of diprotic or polyprotic acids. Because the parent acid is only partially neutralized, one or more replaceable hydrogen atoms remain. Well known examples are sodium bicarbonate(NaHCO3), sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4), monosodium phosphate(NaHPO4), and disodium phosphate(Na2HPO4). Often acid salts are used as buffers.
