    D) KBr (aq)

    Explanation:

    The salt has pH = 7 or is neutral when it is made up of a strong acid and a strong base.

    A) NaCN is made up of NaOH and HCN.

    NaOH is a strong base but HCN is a weak acid. It will have pH greater than 7.

    B) NH₄Br is made up of NH₄OH and HBr.

    NH₄OH is a weak base and HBr is a strong acid. It will have pH less than 7.

    C) NaCN is made up of NaOH and HCN.

    NaOH is a strong base but HCN is a weak acid. It will have pH greater than 7.

    D) KBr is made up of KOH and HBr.

    KOH is a strong base and also HBr is a strong acid. It will have pH equal to 7.

    E) Ca (NO₂) ₂ is made up of Ca (OH) ₂ and HNO₂.

    Ca (OH) ₂ is a strong base but HNO₂ is a weak acid. It will have pH greater than 7.
