A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. This type of reaction removes the acidic and basic properties, forming a neutral product. The general form is: \[ \text{Acid} + \text{Base} \rightarrow \text{Salt} + \text{Water} \] For example: \[ HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O \]
The correct option is (C): \(Acid + Base →Salt + Water \)
