It's C. H2O is usually the product of a reaction between strong acids and strong bases. The others are wrong because they use H2O as a reactant and H2O isn't a strong base or acid. It can actually be used as both a weak base and a weak acid because of its uniquness in having both a H(+) ion and an OH(-) ion which by themselves usually identify either a acid ( such as H2SO4) or base (such as NaOH)

C, strong acids produce hydrogen ions, bases produce hydroxide ions, when they react they form water and a salt.
