Solution

The correct option is B water
Acid reacts with ether, base and alcohol to form various products.
However, diluting the solution with water only leads to dissociation of the acid into it's ions. The cationic part is usually the hydrogen ion and other anionic part can be a chloride ion, sulphate ion, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
