Solution

The correct option is C Zn+2HClZnCl2+H2
NaOH+HClNaCl+H2O
BaCl2+H2SO4BaSO4+2HCl
The above two reactions are neutralisation reactions as they are acid-base reactions.
CuSO4+2H2OCu(OH)2+H2SO4
The oxidation state of Cu is +2 in both reactant and product and that of SO24 ion does not change. So, it is none.
Zn+2HClZnCl2+H2
It is a redox reaction.
The half cell reactions are given below:
ZnZn2++2e
2H+2eH2
