Wait, is this a trick question? What kind of 'process stream' are we even talking about here? Oh, the things they come up with for these exams...

I'm torn between A and C. Stability and neutralization both seem plausible uses for caustic.

I'm leaning towards C as well. Neutralization makes sense in certain processes.

I'm not sure, but I think caustic can also be used for neutralization, so maybe the answer is C) Neutralization.
