Detailed Solution

When an acid and a base combine, a salt is often the result of the reaction. For instance, sodium chloride, a salt, is created when sodium hydroxide and water combine to make hydrochloric acid. There are three types of salts: basic, neutral, and acid salts. A neutral salt is created when a strong base and strong acid react. A basic salt is decreased when a strong base and weak acid react. An acidic salt is created when a strong acid combines with a weak base.

While washing soda is a basic salt, baking soda is an acidic salt. On the other hand, the following equation demonstrates that the aqueous solution of common salt is neutral by nature:

NaCl(s)+H2O(l)Na+(aq)+Cl-(aq)

Thus, neither the colour of the red litmus solution nor the colour of the blue litmus solution is altered by the aqueous solution of common salt.
Additionally, soap has a bitter flavour because it includes caustic soda or sodium hydroxide, whereas amla contains ascorbic acid and tastes sour. Oxalic acid is present in spinach. As a result, spinach in an aqueous solution turns blue litmus into red.

Hence, the correct answer is C.
