The reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a classic example of an acid-base neutralization reaction. In this reaction, sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

So, the correct answer is:

A. Sodium chloride + Water
