Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Evidence of Chemical Reaction
When two colorless solutions are mixed and the resulting solution turns yellow, it indicates a chemical change. The key evidence for this chemical reaction is the change in color.
Step 2: Evaluate the Options
Option (a) "The emission of light" is not applicable here as there is no mention of light being emitted.
Option (b) "The formation of a gas" is not applicable as there is no mention of gas formation.
Option (c) "The formation of a solid" is not applicable as there is no mention of a solid being formed.
Option (d) "Color change" is applicable as the solution changes from colorless to yellow.
Final Answer
The evidence for this chemical reaction is the color change. Therefore, the answer is \(\boxed{\text{d) Color change}}\).
