A. The mass can't be determined from the information provided.

Without more information about the specific chemical reaction and the stoichiometry involved, it is not possible to determine the mass of the other product formed. Each chemical reaction has its own ratios of reactants and products, so it is not possible to calculate the mass of the other product in this scenario.
