The correct conclusion about mixing vinegar and baking soda is:

**A. Vinegar and baking soda react to form a new gaseous substance.**

When vinegar (which is acidic) and baking soda (which is basic) are mixed, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas, resulting in the bubbling and foaming observed during the demonstration.
