Solution

The correct option is C NaOH
When NaOH is added to a mixture of CH3COOH and CH3COONa, NaOH reacts with CH3COOH to form CH3COONa.

Thus the concentration of CH3COOH decreases and the concentration of CH3COONa increases.

Thus the hydrogen ion concentration decreases and pH of the solution increases.

Option D is correct.
