The reaction involves a base (OH-) reacting with an acidic oxide (BeO) to create a salt (Be(OH)4) and water (H2O). The correct formula for Be(OH)4 is [Be(OH)4]2-, which can be simplified to [Be(OH)4]2- or [Be(OH)4]2-. Choice D correctly shows this formula in bracket notation.

BeO(s) + OH−(aq) + H2O(l) →

BeO(s) + OH⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) →
