Detailed Solution

Milli moles (or milli equivalents) of NaOH=20×0.5=10milli moles.

Milli moles (or milli equivalents) of HCl=100×0.1=10milli moles.

NaOH-10  milli equivalents +HCl         -10  milli equivalents NaCl+H2O

Thus, the heat is released when 10 milli equivalents of HCl are. neutralized by 10 millimoles of NaOH =xkJ. But the heat of neutralization is heat released when 1 equivalent of HCl is neutralized by 1 equivalent of NaOH

Δneu H=-x10×10-3 or -100×kJ/mol

Hence option A  is the correct answer.
