This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Which of the following is the correct word equation for the reaction described below? When sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate and water form.

(1) sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium sulfate + water

(2) sulfuric acid → sodium hydroxide + sodium sulfate + water

(3) sodium sulfate + water → sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide

(4) sodium sulfate + sulfuric acid → sodium hydroxide + water

Answer : The correct option is, (1)

Sulfuric acid + Sodium hydroxide → Sodium sulfate + Water

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

In the balanced chemical equation, the reactants and products are separated by a right arrow.

In the equation, the species present on the left side of the right arrow is known as reactant and the species present on the right side of the right arrow is known as product.

According to the question, when sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide then it gives sodium sulfate and water as a product.

The complete word equation for the reaction will be:

Sulfuric acid + Sodium hydroxide → Sodium sulfate + Water

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.
