Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The net ionic equation for the reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide involves the lead (II) ion (Pb^2+) and bromide ions (Br^-) combining to form lead (II) bromide (PbBr2), which is insoluble and precipitates out of the solution. Choices A, B, and D do not correctly represent this reaction.
