Question

what should be used to neutralize battery acid spills before cleaning them up?
break clean
soap and water
paper towels
baking soda

Explanation:

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a base. It can react with the acid (neutralization reaction) to form salt, water, and carbon dioxide. Brake Clean is a solvent, soap and water can clean but not neutralize acid effectively, and paper towels are for cleaning up, not neutralizing.

Answer:

Baking Soda
