Solution

The correct option is A glass
Acids are typically stored in glass containers because some acids will destroy plastics or react with them forming inedible products as these plastics are modified petroleum products and hence, corrode the plastic vessels easily. Glass on the other hand is not corroded by these acids so they are a good option.
