Answer:

the answer is B sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid

Explanation:

The reactants in a solution are always the substances that are involve at the beginning of the chemical equation. with this paragraph about what Jacob did in the lab we can write a chemical equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒NaCl + H2O

the two first mixed substances were sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid hence they are the reactants, the substances that reacts to form a product that in this case the product is the two substance on the right of the arrow NaCl and H2O
