The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In the titration of HCl with NaOH, a pipette is used to measure a fixed volume of one solution, distilled water is used for rinsing, a burette (held in a clamp) delivers the other solution, phenolphthalein is the indicator and a porcelain (white) tile placed below the flask makes the colour change easy to see.
The reaction \(\mathrm{HCl + NaOH \to NaCl + H_2O}\) is a fast neutralisation at room temperature, so no heating (Bunsen burner) is needed. A measuring cylinder is also not required because volumes are measured accurately with a pipette and a burette.
Hence the pair that is not required is Bunsen burner and measuring cylinder.
Answer: (4) Bunsen burner and measuring cylinder
