When anisole is heated with hydroiodic acid (HI), the reaction leads to the cleavage of the ether bond. This results in the formation of two products: phenyl iodide and methanol. Therefore, the correct answer is:

(c) Phenyl iodide and methanol

In this reaction, the methoxy group (-OCH3) of anisole is replaced by iodine, producing phenyl iodide (C6H5I) and methanol (CH3OH). This transformation is a typical reaction for ethers when treated with strong acids.
