Solution

The correct option is B
$N a O H (a q) + H C l (a q) \to N a C l (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$

$N a O H + H C l \to N a C l + H_{2} O$ , the equation is already balanced, the physical states of NaOH, HCl and NaCl are solutions with water, hence written as (aq). $H_{2} O$ is water in liquid state, written as (l).

$N a O H (a q) + H C l (a q) \to N a C l (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$
