Answer:

Your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

When an acid and base react, the acidic hydrogen ion and the basic hydroxide ion in each acid and base neutralize each other and form water. Meanwhile the conjugate base and conjugate acid (the leftover compounds) react to form an ionic molecule, or a salt. (In chemistry, when an anion and a cation form an ionic bond the new molecule is called a salt). Hope this helps!
