I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The equation, H2SO4 (aq) + Sr(OH)2 (aq) ----> SrSO4 (aq) + H2O (l), represents overall equation for a strong acid-strong base neutralization reaction. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer: The correct answer is overall equation for a strong acid-strong base neutralization reaction.

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

Strong acid is defined as the acid which gets completely dissociated into its ions when dissolved in water. For Example: $H_2SO_4$ etc..

Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not get completely dissociated into its ions when dissolved in water. For Example: $HCOOH$ etc..

Strong base is defined as the base which gets completely dissociated into its ions when dissolved in water. For Example: $NaOH$ etc..

Weak base is defined as the base which does not get completely dissociated into its ions when dissolved in water. For Example: $NH_4OH$ etc..

For the given chemical reaction:

$H_2SO_4(aq.)+Sr(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow SrSO_4(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

Here, $H_2SO_4$ is a strong acid and $Sr(OH)_2$ is a strong base. So, the salt produced by these two will be a neutral salt and their reaction will be a strong acid-strong base neutralization.
