Answer 1

Hint:Before attempting this question, you should have prior knowledge of reactions and their types.
Reaction is a chemical process in which substances act mutually on each other and are changed into different substances, or one substance changes into other substances.

Complete step by step answer:
Oxidation reaction: Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.
Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased. Example of oxidation reaction:
\[{H_2}\; + {\text{ }}{F_2}\; \to {\text{ }}2{\text{ }}HF\];
\[{H_2}\; \to {\text{ }}2{\text{ }}{H^ + }\; + {\text{ }}2{\text{ }}{e^ - }\]
\[ {F_2} + 2{e^ - } = 2{F^ - } \\
    \\
\]
Hydrogenation reaction: Hydrogenation is a reduction reaction which results in an addition of hydrogen . If an organic compound is hydrogenated, it becomes more "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. Neutralization reaction: Neutralization is a type of chemical reaction in which a strong acid and strong base react with each other to form water and salt.
Example: \[NaOH + C{H_3}COOH\xrightarrow{{}}C{H_3}COONa + {H_2}0\]
It’s a perfect example of a neutralization reaction. In this reaction there is one acid and a base, both are reacting and neutralizing each other to form salt and water.
$NaOH$ Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base , and it is reacting with $C{H_3}COOH$acetic acid , and neutralizing each other to form a salt $C{H_3}COONa$ and water ${H_2}O$.

Answer of the question is option C. Neutralization reaction.

Addition Information: An addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules recombine to form a larger molecule. An unsaturated hydrocarbon combines with another substance to give a single product. An unsaturated hydrogen combines with another substance to form a single product. This reaction takes place only in unsaturated compounds where there are double or triple bonds.


Note: A reaction can take place between two atoms or ions or molecules, and they form a new bond and no atom is destroyed or created but a new product is formed from reactants. The rate of reaction depends on and is affected by factors like pressure, temperature, the concentration of reactants.
