Answer and Explanation:

The classification is as follows:

1. The ice cream should be considered as the normal good as when the demand of the ice cream is reduced when there is the recession that means the income of the people is also reduced

2. The shampoo is considered to be the neutral good as the demand not impacted because of the recession
