A neutralization reaction is one in which an acid and a base react to produce a salt and water. Option B is the only one that fits this definition, as nitric acid (HNO3) is an acid and potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a base, and they react to form potassium nitrate (KNO3) and water (H2O). The other options do not involve an acid and a base reacting together to produce a salt and water.
