They are both monoprotic acids, which means the ratio of base (which will release just a single OH) to acid will have to be 1:1. The strength of the acid in this case does not matter, just their concentrations when reaching equivalence. Thats why its B.

Because when they dissociate in the following: (not showing water cuz it makes it simpler to understand, and no states, just to get the concept in innit)

CH3COOH --> CH3COO- + H+
OR
HCl --> Cl- + H+

Both acids pop out just the single H+ which neutralises with the OH- to make, WATER !! OH- released by the base because;

NaOH --> Na+ + OH-
