Ravi mixed sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid in a beaker. By touching the beaker, he observed that the resulting solution is hot. He then tested the acidic, basic, or neutral nature of the reaction mixture with the help of a litmus paper. He observed that both red and blue litmus papers remains unaffected with the solution. What can be concluded from Ravi's experiment?

Options

A. The resulting solution is acidic in nature and heat is absorbed during the reaction
B. The resulting solution is basic in nature and heat is evolved during the reaction
C. The resulting solution is neutral in nature and heat is evolved during the reaction
D. The resulting solution is neutral in nature and heat is absorbed during the reaction
