The item that is a salt from the given options is **calcium carbonate**.
Sodium hydroxide (a strong base), carbonic acid (an acid), and antacids (which often contain basic components but are not categorized as salts by themselves) do not fit the definition of a salt as accurately as calcium carbonate does. Salts are typically formed from the reaction of an acid and a base, resulting in the neutralization reaction.
