Answer:

  • C. BaBr₂ and Zn(OH)₂

Explanation:

ZnBr₂ is a salt,formed by the ions of zinc and bromine, Zn²⁺ and Br⁻.

Ba(OH)₂ is a hydroxide formed by barium cation,  Ba²⁺, and OH⁻ anion.

The typical reaction of a salt with an hydroxide is a double replacement.

Thus, the ions trade places producing other salt and other hydroxide:

  • ZnBr₂ + Ba(OH)₂ → Zn(OH)₂ + BaBr₂
