Solution

The correct option is B concentrated acid into water.
Adding water to concentrated acid makes the solution to boil violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container. There is a release of large amount of energy (an exothermic process) when hydration happens here. Hence, concentrated acid is added to water and not vice-versa.
