Answer:

the correct answers is "neutralize"

Explanation:

When an acid is related to a base or also called an alkali and they reach a pH of 7, this acid will be neutralized or it will be canceled as the question says.

This happens so it reaches an equilibrium between both compounds, where the solution medium where these two compounds are is NEITHER ACID NOR BASIC, that is why it is called NEUTRAL medium.

Whenever you read that the pH of a solution is balanced, a neutralized acid, or a ph7 it means that the solution is NEUTRAL.
