B. 2KOH(aq) + 2HNO3(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + 2H2O(l) — In this reaction, potassium hydroxide (KOH) and nitric acid (HNO3) are both aqueous solutions, and they react to form potassium nitrate (KNO3) in aqueous solution and water (H2O) in liquid form: 2KOH(aq) + 2HNO3(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + 2H2O(l). This is a typical neutralization reaction, where an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.
