are you getting this question out of form B?
form A is confusing enough!!!!
I'd day the only reason that would be salt is because a strong acid and a strong base form a salt. but then I don't know how it cannot be a metal!!! they are sooooo confusing, it's like you want to pick 2 answers per question!!!😡
