Saponification
is the chemical reaction that occurs between sodium hydroxide or potassium
hydroxide with any kind of fat. In the preparation of soap, saponification
occurs when a strong alkali reacts with vegetable oil (or animal fat). As far
as your question is concerned, the choice is pretty simple. You can always use NaOH
and neem oil for the saponification process in the preparation of soap. Mineral
oil cannot be used for the reaction as the resulting soap will become oily or
greasy. So, the correct answer is B) NaOH and neem oil.
