Answer:
Test for carbon dioxide gas.
The reaction between baking soda and citric acid will form sodium ions, citric acid ions, carbon dioxide gas, and water. So all you have to do is add the gas produced (by gas displacement method or something) and test whether the gas is carbon dioxide, with lime water or other methods like hydrogencarbonate indicator.

Explanation:
Thalia would need to consider how big the sphere is , the mass of the sphere, permits required for the sphere, and how much it would cost to make the sphere.
Hope this helps!
Sodium:
moles = mass/RFM = 8.3/23 = 0.3608..
Chlorine:
moles = mass/RFM = 4.5/71 = 0.06
Ratio of Na to Cl is 2:1
So 0.06 x 2 = 0.12
So we know that the Na is in excess
Now we have to figure out by how much:
Mass = moles x RFM = 0.12 x RFM of 2NaCl = 0.12 x 58.5 = 7.4 (roughly)
Now to figure out by how much do 8.3 + 4.5 = 12.7 and do 12.7 - 7.4 = 5.3 (roughly)
So your answer is A
